Stretford Memorial Hospital Collecting Box

Stretford Memorial Hospital was opened on 28 October 1914, with twenty beds, by the Old Trafford Divisional Committee of the Red Cross Hospital Society, as an auxiliary hospital to the Second Western General. It was enlarged from time to time as the necessity for further accommodation became more urgent. It then closed in 1919. It was taken over by the East Lancashire Branch of the British Red Cross Society and made into a hospital for the limbless soldiers. It was sold in 1925 to the Trustees of Stretford War Memorial Public Nursing Service for hospital purposes.
