The hospital was opened in 1889 as The Barnes Isolation Hospital.[3] Its original purpose was to treat and care for patients with infectious diseases such as diphtheria and scarlet fever.[3] The existing buildings were extensively renovated in 2001 when a new extension was added.[3]
Half of the hospital's site was sold to a residential developer in 2019. In September 2020, plans were approved for a health centre and a Special Educational Needs school on the rest of the site: they are due to open in 2027.[4]
