History
The original hospital in the area was established at Etruria in 1804[2] but was completely rebuilt on a much larger basis in 1814.[3] The hospital then relocated to Hartshill as the North Staffordshire Royal Infirmary in 1869.[4][5] It became the North Staffordshire Infirmary and Eye Hospital in 1890 and the North Staffordshire Royal Infirmary in 1925.[6]
Meanwhile, half a mile further west, the Parish Hospital was completed in 1842.[7] This facility evolved to become the London Road Hospital and Institution by the early 20th century and became the City General in 1945.[7]
New facilities were procured under a Private Finance Initiative contract to replace the both the North Staffordshire Royal Infirmary and the City Hospital in 2007. The works, which were designed Ryder / HKS and carried out by Laing O'Rourke at a cost of £370 million[8] on the old City Hospital site, were completed August 2012.[9]
