| On Park Place, 2018 |
Andy Robertson was up on Cheetham Hill Road recently and spotted this building.
“I caught a glimpse of it, on Park Place and immediately thought ‘hospital’ and so it was!
It was the Northern Hospital originally opened as a Children's hospital in 1867. It later began admitting women.

I have to confess that when I was there a few weeks earlier I totally missed the building on Park Place and ignored the one on Cheetham Hill Road.
In 1911 it was “Open daily, except Sunday, from 8.30 am, to out patients”, with its office at “38 Barton Arcade, Deansgate”*

I thought that the Northers had been demolished many years ago.
ReplyDeleteMy mum was there in the 80s for a stomach operation. It was a good hospital and she got the best treatment. I used to go from work and the manager of the local taxi company gave me a 50 percent discount to get home. Can you imagine that these days? Jxx
ReplyDeleteThank you
ReplyDeleteThat isnt the Northern Hospital, it was much further up Cheetham Hill and on the other side of the Road. It was knocked down in the mid nineties.
ReplyDeleteFrom looking at old maps there were 2 sites that Manchester Northern hospital was located. One as stated above and the other to the right of Shirley St.
