Burton Road Hospital was a NHS hospital situated in Dudley, West Midlands, England.
[a] The hospital has its origins in the infirmary for the Dudley Union Workhouse which was built to the west of the main workhouse site in the 19th century.
[2] The workhouse was converted into a hospital and, in the late 1920s, it became known as the Dudley Institution.
[3] Additions to the institution at that time included a maternity hospital which was completed in 1926 and which was re-named the Rosemary Ednam Maternity Hospital in memory of Lady Ednam who had died in an air crash in July 1930.
[4][5] A donation by the Rotary Club enabled Burton Road Hospital to receive the country's first mobile cardiac unit in 1971.
