Other information
Tring Isolation Hospital was opened on 19 December 1901 by Lord Rothschild. Tring Urban District Council had seen the need for an Isolation Hospital for some time prior to that, but had been unable to raise the necessary finance. However, Lord Rothschild made a loan to the Urban District Council which enabled the hospital to be built. It was situated in Little Tring Road in Tring and contained 20 beds. In 1902 Tring and Aldbury Isolation Hospitals combined their services with Tring taking all the cases of smallpox and Aldbury all the cases of scarlet fever. The Hospital was used in the First World War as a military hospital. In 1948, when the National Health Service was created, Tring Isolation Hospital, along with many other Isolation Hospitals, was closed.
