The hospital, which was built to replace the aging Victoria Hospital, was opened in phases: the outpatients department was opened in 1959 and the main block was opened by Princess Margaret in April 1966.[1] After services transferred to the Great Western Hospital, the Princess Margaret Hospital closed on 3 December 2002.[2]
The building was demolished in 2004 and the 25-acre site was redeveloped as housing.[3][4]
