In 1884, two cottages in Station Road, Ilkeston, were converted into a hospital, with ten beds. In the following nine years, 462 in-patients and 1,559 out-patients were treated there. When the population had increased to 20,000, however, there were many more than ten people in need of hospital nursing at one time. In 1893, Mr E.M. Mundy, JP, of Shipley Hall, offered a site worth £800, on the west side of Heanor Road, and subscriptions came in so rapidly that the new hospital was paid for by the time it was completed. The foundation stone was laid by Mr Mundy on 26 April 1893, and the hospital was opened by Lord Belper on 28 February 1894.
