History
William Strutt Infirmary
The original hospital in the area, the old William Strutt Infirmary, was the inspiration of William Strutt, a cotton manufacturer.[2] It opened in what is now Bradshaw Way, Derby in 1810.[3]
Derbyshire Royal Infirmary
In 1890, during the year that he was Mayor of Derby, Sir Alfred Seale Haslam managed to replace the old William Strutt Infirmary with the Derbyshire Royal Infirmary. That year there had been an outbreak of disease at the old infirmary and Sir William Evans, President of the Infirmary arranged a three-day inspection which condemned the old building.[4] When Queen Victoria came to open the new hospital on 21 May 1891 she knighted Haslam for his services and gave permission for the term "Royal" to be used.[4] The Derbyshire Royal Infirmary opened in 1894.[3]
Following the transfer of community services to the London Road Community Hospital located further south-east along London Road, the infirmary closed in 2009[5] and most of buildings were demolished in spring 2015.[6] However a facade with its two "pepper-pot towers" dating back to 1894 was retained for redevelopment.[7]
