The Victoria Hospital was a health facility in Queen's Road, Richmond, North Yorkshire, England. It is now used as a funeral director's offices and remains a Grade II listed building.[1]

History

The facility, which was created by converting an early 19th century neo-gothic style house into a hospital,[2] opened as the Richmond Cottage Hospital in 1899.[3] It joined the National Health Service in 1948.[3] After services were transferred to modern facilities at the Friary Community Hospital in 1999,[4] the Victoria Hospital closed and the building was converted for use as a funeral director's offices.[5]
