Additions included a small extension in 1912, a new female wing in 1923 and a mortuary in 1932 as well as a nurses' home in 1934. It joined the National Health Service in 1948. The main hospital was demolished in 2002 and replaced by a modern health centre which retained the Queen Victoria Hospital name.
