Formerly the Mayday Hospital, Croydon University Hospital was originally the infirmary of the Croydon Workhouse, opened in 1885 in Mayday Road. The Croydon Union Infirmary was renamed Mayday Road Hospital in 1923, and was taken over by Croydon Corporation in 1930, and the National Health Service in 1948. It was renamed Croydon University Hospital in August 2010. This view looks across Mayday Road to one of the original buildings.
