Manchester Hospital for Consumption and Diseases of the Throat and Chest
The Manchester Hospital for Consumption and Diseases of the Throat and Chest was an English hospital founded in 1875. Initially located at 18 St John Street in Manchester, it had space for 8 inpatients. In 1885, the hospital moved to Bowdon, Cheshire, where it became known as St. Anne's Hospital and had 15 beds. A clinic continued to operate in Hardman Street, Manchester. By 1900, the hospital had expanded to 50 beds in Bowdon. In 1902, it handled over 11,000 cases, mostly as outpatients in the city center. Sir William Crossley, 1st Baronet, served as the hospital's chairman and funded the construction of the Manchester Sanatorium in Delamere Forest, which had 90 beds for open-air treatment. The National Health Service took over the Hardman Street clinic in 1948, renaming it the Manchester Ear, Nose and Throat Hospital, which closed in 1951.
