Collection

Leominster Cottage Hospital was erected in 1899 at South Street, Leominster, to act as a small rural hospital for local inhabitants and surrounding parishes. After the establishment of the National Health Service in 1948, Leominster Cottage Hospital was soon nationalised to serve the outlying areas. Leominster Cottage Hospital has since been rebranded as Leominster Community Hospital.
