The Samaritan Hospital (or Nottingham Samaritan Hospital) was a hospital in Raleigh Street, Nottingham, England.

History

The hospital opened in March 1885 in a building which had originally been known as Sandfield House. The Raleigh Bicycle Company was founded on the same street, just two years later, in 1887.[1]

In the 1894 White's Directory of Nottinghamshire the following was listed in relation to the hospital:

In 1923 it merged with Nottingham Castle Gate Hospital, 29-31 Castle Gate, to become the Nottingham Women's Hospital in Peel Street. The building in Raleigh Street became a private nursing facility known as St Mary's Nursing Home which closed in 1972.[2] [3]
