The facility has its origins in the Banbridge Union Workhouse which was designed by George Wilkinson and was completed in June 1841.[1] It became Banbridge District Hospital in 1932 and, after joining the National Health Service in 1948, it evolved to become Banbridge Hospital.[2] Despite some investment in surgical wards in the 1980s, the hospital closed in 1995.[3] The old hospital was subsequently demolished and the new Banbridge Health and Care Centre opened on part of the site in 2016.[4]
