| Full Description: The foundation stone of the hospital was laid, with a grand Masonic ceremony, on 10 July 1843, and the building completed the following year. It was built in the Italian style "from the sole plans, and under the able, assiduous, and entirely gratuitous superintendence of Thomas Sandon Hack, Esq, architect" (advertising print).
The first hospital had opened on 1 January 1838 in an adapted house in South Front, Kingsland. It later moved to a larger house in St Mary Street, but as no suitable accommodation could be found in the town, the decision was taken to build a hospital funded by public subscription. The site selected was on open rising ground in Newtown, north of the town. The hospital was opened in 1844 with 40 beds, called by Royal Warrant 'The Royal South Hants Infirmary'. The total cost was just over £5080.
The original building still (2004) survives, although the surroundings are unrecognisable from the 1840s. It has several times been threatened with demolition.
