Newholme Hospital is a community healthcare facility at Baslow Road in Bakewell, Derbyshire. It was managed by Derbyshire Community Health Services NHS Foundation Trust. It is a Grade II listed building.
The facility, which was designed by a Mr Johnson of Sheffield in the Jacobean style, opened as Bakewell Union Workhouse in 1841.[1] A large infirmary block was built to the rear of the site in 1900.[1] It became the Bakewell Public Assistance Institution in 1930 and then joined the National Health Service as Newholme Hospital in 1948.[1] Although it was announced in July 2017 that the hospital would close,[2] it was confirmed, in December 2018, that a new health hub would be built on part of the site.[3]
