History edit

The hospital has its origins in the Great Yarmouth Union Workhouse designed by John Brown, the county surveyor, and established on the east side of Northgate Street in 1838.[2] Following a critical inspection in 1894, a new building was allocated for infirmary use.[2] A new acute ward, which serves patients with mental illnesses in the Great Yarmouth area, was built in 2004.[3]
