Queen Mary's Hospital for the East End is a former hospital on Bryant Street in Stratford, London that was opened in 1861 by Dr William Elliot as the West Ham, Stratford and South Essex Dispensary in an 18thC building called the Old Dispensary, at 30 Romford Road. Thanks to a private donation a new dispensary opened in 1879 and a hospital added. Prince George, Duke of Cambridge laid the foundation stone in 1888 and the hospital was opened by Hugh Grosvenor, 1st Duke of Westminster two years later.
Businessman and philanthropist John Passmore Edwards paid for a new wing that opened in 1895, the same year that the whole site was renamed the West Ham Hospital. In 1902 it was renamed again to the East London General Hospital and another extension was added in 1907. Two years later it was renamed the West Ham and Eastern General Hospital and in 1911 two new wards were added creating a 100 bed hospital. Queen Mary became its patron in 1916 and it was granted a royal charter the following year, changing its name to its final one. A nurses' home and maternity wing were added in the 1920s and in 1923 a new Out-Patients Department added, which would also be the War Memorial of the County Borough of West Ham. The new block was opened by Prince Henry at 11:00 on 11 November, 1924 and was the largest war memorial of any kind in Great Britain.
During the Second World War the hospital was the hospital was evacuated and became a casulaty hospital for air-raid casualties and sick and wounded servicemen. It was the first London hospital to be bombed. The hospital joined the National Health Service (NHS) under the management of the North East Metropolitan Regional Health Board in 1948. After services were transferred to Newham General Hospital, it closed in 1983. All its buildings were demolished except an entrance archway in Bryant Street. The site is now a housing estate. |
