The Oxford Street Hospital in Liverpool closed its doors in November 1995. Its closure coincided with its direct replacement by the newly established Liverpool Women's Hospital.
The Legacy of a Historic Institution
The Oxford Street Hospital, though known by this name in its later years, originated with a much older and broader mission, serving the community for over a century and a half.
- Established: The institution first began its operations in November 1841.
- Original Name: It was initially known as the "Lying-in Hospital and Dispensary for the Diseases of Women and Children."
- Founding Location: Its original site was on Horatio Street, located within the Scotland Road area of Liverpool.
- Transition: After a long history of dedicated service, the hospital's functions and patient care responsibilities were transitioned to the modern facilities of the Liverpool Women's Hospital upon its opening.
