Bourne Hospital opened in 1915 as an isolation unit for patients suffering from infectious diseases and over the years expanded to become a cottage hospital providing a much needed medical amenity for the town and district. By 1965, it was being run as a medical and surgical unit with 53 beds and fully staffed by medical personnel with a chest X-ray unit and clinics specialising in the eyes, orthopaedics, remedial and relaxation therapy and child welfare. The hospital closed in 1998 and was demolished five years later to make way for new housing. See Image
