North Staffordshire Royal Infirmary

The North Staffordshire Royal Infirmary was a hospital at Hartshill in the English county of Staffordshire. It was located half a mile east of the site of the Royal Stoke University Hospital. It was run by the University Hospitals of North Midlands NHS Trust.

1. History

The original hospital in the area was established at Etruria in 1804 but was completely rebuilt on a much larger basis in 1814. The hospital then relocated to Hartshill as the North Staffordshire Infirmary in 1869. It became the North Staffordshire Infirmary and Eye Hospital in 1890 and was renamed the North Staffordshire Royal Infirmary following a visit from King George V in 1925. The facility joined the National Health Service in 1948 and, after services were transferred to the Royal Stoke University Hospital, it closed in December 2012. The site is still used by the University Hospitals of North Midlands NHS Trust for car parking and offices.
