Southport Promenade Hospital was shut down in 1990 after being a place of care and attention from 1853. After almost 150 years the hospital closed its doors for the last time and has since been transformed into luxury apartments on the promenade.
The hospital was initially built for the Southport Strangers' Charity and treated people for the entire time it was open, with it being turned into an emergency hospital for those injured in Liverpool during WWI and WWII. It's believed that the hospital joined the NHS in 1948 offering services for acute medical conditions and spinal injuries.
