History

The facility, which was designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott, opened as the Kettering Union Workhouse in 1838.[1] An infirmary was added to the east of the main building in the mid-1890s.[1] It became St Helen's Hospital in 1935 and joined the National Health Service as St Mary's Hospital in 1948.[2] The height was reduced to one storey throughout in 1971.[3] The Welland Centre, a mental health unit which was procured under a Private Finance Initiative contract, opened in 2005.[4]
