The Sir G B Hunter Memorial Hospital is a health facility at Wallsend Green, Wallsend, Tyne and Wear, England. It is managed by Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear NHS Foundation Trust.
The facility has its origins in a private house, known as Wallsend Hall, built in the early 19th century. The hall was originally occupied by William Clark,[1] then by his son-in-law, John Wright, who were both Mayors of Wallsend,[2] and then by Robert Richardson Dees, a local solicitor, before being acquired by Sir George Burton Hunter in 1914.[3] Burton presented the hall and its grounds to Wallsend Corporation in 1919.[3] The site was developed as a hospital in the 1920s and extended to the east in the 1940s to create the current health centre.[3] The hospital joined the National Health Service in 1948.[4] The hall itself was re-designated for municipal use in the 1950s.[3]
