History
The facility has its origins in the Newtownards Union Workhouse which was designed by George Wilkinson and was completed in December 1841.[1] It became the Ards District Hospital in 1932 and, after joining the National Health Service in 1948, evolved to become Ards Community Hospital.[1] In 2016 the gate lodge for the hospital was refurbished to create a social enterprise café.[2] The hospital was used as a location for the filming of Dublin Murders in 2018.[3]
