The West Norfolk and Lynn Hospital (later the West Norfolk and King's Lynn Hospital) was an English hospital in King's Lynn, Norfolk, founded in 1835. It was closed in 1980.
A meeting on 13 October 1833 in King's Lynn of local gentry, chaired by MP Sir W. H. B. Ffolkes, led to the hospital's construction and opening in 1835 at a cost of more than £2,000.[1] An 1845 guide to the area described it as a "spacious and handsome building of white brick" which had accommodations for about 40 patients; the Marquess of Cholmondeley was the president of the hospital.[2]
The building was expanded in 1848 and again in 1852.[3] A major expansion in the early 1930s was formally opened by Queen Mary on 9 February 1935.[4]
On being taken over by the National Health Service in 1948, the hospital was classified as an acute care facility.[5] The hospital was closed in 1980 after the opening of Queen Elizabeth Hospital, King's Lynn and the building was demolished in 1988.
