Princess Royal Hospital opened as a branch hospital in 1931 on land donated by Sir Phillip Reckitt. Most of the hospital's services closed in Summer 2008. Demolition of the complex was undertaken between February and May 2012. The two gatepiers, originally located at the former Hull General Infirmary, Prospect Street, were destined to be relocated at Hull Royal Infirmary, Anlaby Road, and Castle Hill Hospital, Cottingham.
