History

The hospital was founded as the Royal South Hampshire Infirmary in 1835[1][2] and moved into its first premises in St Mary Street in 1838.[3] It was initially a Voluntary hospital.[3]
The foundation stone for new premises in Fanshawe Street was laid on 10 July 1843.[4] The hospital opened there in 1844.[2][3] Joseph and William Bullar, doctors and brothers of children’s author Anne Bullar, funded additional wards for the hospital. These wards, named the Bullar Wards, were completed in 1851.[1] The Eyre Crabbe Wing, located on the east side of the site, was completed in 1868.[1][5]
In 1896, another new wing, containing a further two wards and some operating theatres, was started, as well as some cottages to house patients with infectious diseases and a mortuary. This new wing was officially opened by Princess Henry of Battenberg on 7 February 1900 and named the Victoria Jubilee Wing.[6]
During World War II, a country home of Lord Mountbatten, the Broadlands, was used as an annexe for the hospital.[7][8][9]
The hospital joined the National Health Service in 1948.[3][5] As part of a transfer of mental health services from Knowle Hospital, a psychiatry block was completed in 1979.[5] The block closed in 2009.[5]
On 31 March 2007 management of the hospital was passed to Southampton City Primary Care Trust with several services transferring to Southampton General Hospital and the Princess Anne Hospital. In 2010[10] a new adult mental health unit called Antelope House was opened on the former Antelope Ground, housing 50 acute beds and 12 psychiatric intensive care beds.[5]
The hospital is heated as part of the Southampton District Energy Scheme network.[11]
Chapel
St Paul's Chapel was completed in 1857.[1][5] The chapel fell out of use in 1992.[1][5] The Chapel is a Grade II listed building, as of 1981.[12]
