Bedford Hospital was erected on the site of the Bedford General Infirmary. The Infirmary was originally opened in 1803 providing accommodation for 38 patients. The hospital was financed from money left by Samuel Whitbread of Cardington, the cost of the building being £5,800 at that time. Portraits of some of the founders may still be seen in the main administrative block. At this time the hospital was renamed Bedford General Hospital (South Wing) and in conjunction with Bedford General Hospital (North Wing), a hospital of 220 beds, formed Bedford General Hospital, providing a district hospital service for north Bedfordshire. Bedford Hospital has continued to expand with extensive redevelopment and new builds.
