History edit
The hospital had its origins in the Holywell Union Workhouse which was designed by John Welch and completed in 1840.[1] A separate infirmary was added in 1913.[2] The facility became the Luesty Public Assistance Institution in 1930 and then joined the National Health Service as Lluesty General Hospital in 1948.[2] After services transferred to Holywell Community Hospital, Lluesty Hospital closed in 2008.[3]
