History
Walthamstow Borough Council acquired a mansion called North Bank which had been owned by Octavius Wigram for the purposes of establishing a maternity hospital in 1929.[1][2][3] The hospital was opened by Dame Janet Campbell, a leading physician, in April 1934.[3] As a maternity hospital it had circa 70 beds.[1] It joined the National Health Service in 1948.[3] It ceased maternity facilities in 1973 and was subsequently used as a nurses' home, then a treatment centre for Alzheimer's disease patients and latterly as a mental health facility.[3]
The hospital closed in 2017, and parts of the site were demolished to make way for a new health centre, known as the Jane Atkinson Health and Wellbeing Centre, which opened in November 2019.[4]
