Other information
The hospital was built by the Rothwell, Methley and Hunslet Joint Isolation Hospital Committee which was constituted under the Isolation Hospitals Act 1893 by an order of the West Riding County Council 10 January 1900.
St George's Hospital originated as the New Union Workhouse and Infirmary for the Hunslet Union, built in 1903 in Rothwell, after designs by Edward Dodgshun in 1897 [for plans see PLP/71]. It became St George's Hospital on being taken over by the Leeds Public Assistance Committee in 1930 when it was transferred to the Leeds Health Committee in 1934. In 1948 the Hospital was placed in the Leeds Group B Hospital Management Committee. After local government reorganisation in 1974 it was transferred to the Leeds Eastern District and soon after to the Leeds Western District. The Hospital was closed in December 1991.
