History edit
The hospital has its origins in the Beverley Union Workhouse which was designed by John and William Atkinson and opened in 1861.[3] An infirmary was added in 1893 and the entrance arch was completed in 1895.[4] It became the Beverley Public Assistance Institution in 1930 and joined the National Health Service as Westwood Hospital in 1948.[3] After services transferred to the East Riding Community Hospital in July 2012, Westwood Hospital and the buildings were redeveloped for residential use by PJ Livesey as Westwood Park.[5][6]
