Hackney Hospital started life in 1750 as an infirmary within the workhouse on Homerton High Street. By the 1860s the infirmary was entirely separate from the main workhouse building. This allowed the infirmary to expand to 606 beds with a nursing staff of 45. By the 1930s the Hackney Institution, as the infirmary had become known, was taken over by the London County Council. In 1948, the Hospital became part of the National Health Service and the local Hackney Group of hospitals. In 1987 a new hospital was opened in the area, the Homerton, and general services transferred there. Eventually, only psychiatric and geriatric services remained, but in 1995 these were also transferred to the Homerton and the Hackney Hospital closed.
