History
editThe original hospital in the area was established at Etruria in 1804[1] but was completely rebuilt on a much larger basis in 1814.[2] The hospital then relocated to Hartshill as the North Staffordshire Infirmary in 1869.[3][4] It became the North Staffordshire Infirmary and Eye Hospital in 1890 and was renamed the North Staffordshire Royal Infirmary following a visit from King George V in 1925.[5]
The facility joined the National Health Service in 1948[6] and, after services were transferred to the Royal Stoke University Hospital, it closed in December 2012.[7] The site is still used by the University Hospitals of North Midlands NHS Trust for car parking and offices.[8]
