Info
The Royal Northern Hospital was a general hospital on Holloway Road, London N7, near Tollington Way. It had inpatient, outpatient, accident and emergency facilities and was also a centre for postgraduate education. Originally located at King's Cross, it began as an independent and voluntary hospital. The Great Northern Hospital moved to Holloway Road in 1888 and received a royal charter on amalgamation with the Royal Chest Hospital in 1921. The casualty department was built using public subscription. The foundations to the new casualty department was laid by Lady Patricia Ramsay in July 1923, and the new building was opened by the Prince of Wales on 27 November 1923. Purpose-built blocks of flats were built for nurses on Tollington Way in the mid-1960s; they were demolished during the 1980s.
