Hyde Hospital was built in 1886 as a "Fever Hospital". By 1929 it was known as Hyde Infectious Diseases Hospital. From 1948-1955 it was known again as Hyde Isolation Hospital. In the late 1980s, wards 1 to 3 were converted into Hyde Nursing Home Image operated by Meridian Healthcare Ltd http://www.meridiancare.co.uk/care-centres/hyde-nursing-home Ward 4 Image, known as the TB ward continued to be used by some ancillary service until 1996. They were demolished in 2012 to make way for new housing Image Now the lodge/gatehouse and the original Nurses Home currently used as an Administration Centre are now due to be demolished too.
