The land was acquired in 1826, and the hospital was opened on 5th August 1828. In 1841 more money was bequethed by Edward Brown for a fever ward. The interior has been much altered but still retains some of the original structure, especially in the entrance hall. {2} | Subjects: | Building | Temporal: | 1828 - 2050 | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
