History
The hospital was built in 1862 and opened the following year as Borough Hospital.[1] The name was changed to Birkenhead General Hospital in 1926.[1] From 1948 it was run by the Birkenhead Hospital Management Committee, and after 1974 by the Wirral Area Health Authority.[2] After services were transferred to the newly opened Arrowe Park Hospital, the building ceased to be used in 1982.[2]
