WW1

1914-1918

• Matron at Hemlington Auxiliary Hospital,  which was located in the pavilions of Hemlington Isolation Hospital for Infectious Diseases near Middlesbrough and opened on the 17th of September 1914, affiliated to the War Hospital in Newcastle, providing 150 beds. The Matron was Miss Rosina Webb working with Dr Longbotham and Dr Ellis,

  

  it was staffed by members of the Yorks 29 VAD working alongside trained nurses. Patients arrived by train at Middlesbrough station and were taken by cars and motorbus in a convoy to the hospital, which was made up of several single-story corrugated iron buildings.  As it had been built for patients confined to their beds, it lacked any sort of communal facilities. The long driveway up to the site was in very poor condition and there were problems with transport to the isolated location, with the bus having difficulty with the narrow gateposts at the entrance and at one point the manager of the Imperial Tramways Company refused to allow their motorbus to drive up to the hospital until the potholes in the track were repaired. The isolated location also caused discipline issues amongst the patients and an army corporal was posted to the hospital to oversee the men.

  The hospital closed on the 8th of August 1918 having treated 3,345 patients.
