Newark Hospital is a health facility in Newark-on-Trent, Nottinghamshire, England. It is managed by the Sherwood Forest Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.

History

The hospital has its origins in a workhouse established in Hawton Road (now Albert Street) in 1786.^[1][2] The workhouse infirmary, which was established in the early 19th century, merged with the local dispensary to become became Newark Hospital and Dispensary in 1868.^[3]

The hospital moved to larger facilities, designed by William Bliss, on a site on London Road in April 1881.^[3] This released the old hospital site for redevelopment as the Castle Brewery.^[3] The hospital joined the National Health Service as Newark General Hospital in 1948.^[4]

The old Newark General hospital on London Road closed in 1996, after patients had been transferred to a modern healthcare facility on Boundary Road which was opened by the Duke of Gloucester in 1996.^[3]
