The West Kent and General Hospital

At Maidstone, established in 1832, is a building in the rusticated Italian style, and consists of a central block, including the principle entrance and a retiring wing on either side. During the year 1901 there were received 707 in-patients, 4,704 out-patients and 1,319 casualty cases. 21 patients were also sent to the seaside during the year. The Childrens ward, added in 1883, holds 12 cots and 2 cradles, and in 1886 it was handsomely decorated at the expense of a lady resident in the neighbourhood. The Hollingworth memorial wing was opened in July 1889, and a Jubilee Memorial wing and Chapel added in 1898.
