A brief look at hospitals and health care regimes in Medway. From the establishment of Hawkins Hospital administering to mariners and shipbuilders in the 16th Century, and provision for the poor and infirm in the Workhouses in the 18th and 19th Century to hospitals for the military and for the ordinary folk of Medway. This exhibition offers a whistle-stop tour of hospitals which have come and gone. Melville and Fort Pitt disappeared a lifetime ago. But All Saints and St. Bartholomew’s closed within living memory. They will be remembered with affection (or possibly dread) by many in Medway.

More information can be found on the Medway Archives website.
