Originally named Davyhulme Park Hospital, it was established by the Barton-upon-Irwell Union. Work began to build the hospital in 1926. When the Local Government Act of 1929 abolished the poor law unions, the hospital passed to Lancashire County Council. The hospital is regarded as the first National Health Service hospital. Known as Park Hospital, it was visited by Aneurin Bevan on 4 July 1948 at the start of the NHS.
