Shire Hill Hospital was a healthcare facility in Bute Street, Glossop, Derbyshire, England. It was managed by Tameside and Glossop Integrated Care NHS Foundation Trust.
History[]
The facility was opened as the Glossop Union Workhouse in 1837.[1] An infirmary building was subsequently added and extended in 1927.[1] During the First World War beds were set aside for British military casualties.[2] It became the Glossop Public Assistance Institution in 1930 and joined the National Health Service as Shire Hill Hospital in 1948.[3] The trust announced a consultation on the potential closure of the hospital in 2017.[4] After services were transferred to Tameside General Hospital, Shire Hill Hospital closed in 2018.[5]
