The Royal East Sussex Hospital was a healthcare facility based firstly in White Rock Road and from 1923 in Cambridge Road, Hastings, East Sussex.
This was founded to care for the poor of Hastings in 1839, on White Rock Road in Hastings.[1][2] This became known as The General Infirmary.[1] Despite several extensions the hospital became too small, and in 1884 plans were drawn up to rebuild it and the hospital was renamed as Hastings, St Leonards' and East Sussex Hospital.[1] The building was redesigned to better utilise the limited space on the site in a rotunda design.[1] The local MP, Thomas Brassey, who laid the keystone, arrived at the ceremony in his boat "Sunbeam".[1] The new 73 bedded hospital had two circular wings on either side of a central block, and opened in 1887.[1] This hospital closed in 1923, and the newly built Royal East Sussex Hospital was opened in Cambridge Road, Hastings.[2] This provided surgical care and had an accident and emergency department.[2] It closed in 1994 when the Conquest Hospital was opened in St Leonards-on-Sea, Hastings, following the amalgamation of the Eversfield Hospital in St Leonards, and the Buchanan Hospital, St Helens Hospital and the Royal East Sussex Hospital, all in Hastings.[2]
