History
The Pendle Community Hospital was established to replace the Reedyford Hospital which had been created by the conversion of a 19th century private house into a war memorial hospital in 1914.[1][2] Services were transferred to the newly built Pendle Community Hospital in 1987.[1]
In March 2012, after 20 beds were removed from the community hospital, there were fears that it would close.[3]
