Administrative / biographical background:

Hounslow Hospital was founded in 1874 in Bell Road, Hounslow. Little information appears to survive about its early years. In 1913 it moved to Staines Road, Hounslow to a newly built 20 bed cottage hospital. By 1954 the accommodation had been increased to 81 beds arranged in three ground floor wards, one each for children, men and women. (See A/KE/735/49). In 1948 Hounslow Hospital became part of the National Health Service administered by the North West Metropolitan Regional Hospital Board and Staines Group Hospital Management Committee. On the reorganisation of the National Health Service in 1974 it was transferred to Ealing, Hammersmith and Hounslow Area Health Authority (Teaching) and Hounslow Health District. The hospital ceased to admit patients on 31 August 1977.
