Hayes Cottage Hospital was a healthcare facility in Hayes, West London.
History
[edit]The hospital opened in 1898 in Grange Road, Hayes to provide medical care for the local populations of Hayes, Harlington and Hillingdon. The 2-storey red brick building had five beds.[1]
In 1948 the Hospital, which then had 22 beds joined the NHS, but its operating theatre was closed and its X-ray equipment was removed and it became a GP hospital for medical cases only, under the control of the Uxbridge Group Hospital Medical Committee. In 1974 it came under the control of the Hillingdon District Health Authority.[1]
At the end of 1983 it was the site of a workers occupation aiming to keep the hospital open.[2] There was another, but unsuccessful occupation in 1990, after which the hospital was closed and the building turned into a private nursing home. In 2007 a renal dialysis unit was built in the grounds.[1]
