Whttingham Hospital opened its doors on 1st April 1873, made from bricks produced on site.

The hospital had four main wards with a Sanatorium for patients with infectious diseases.

The hospital also had an onsite brewery the ale was given to the patients as part of their daily diet.
In 1914 the clock tower was built.
