Description
The hospital was built in 1860 and was largely maintained by the men's own contributions to a Sick Club. The club provided free medical care, a weekly payment during absence from work through sickness or injury, a small payment on retirement and burial expenses. It was one of the first buildings in the area to have hot and cold running water and electricity. General surgery continued here until the 1940's.
