Crossley Hospital West, founded in 1905 as the Liverpool Sanatorium, was a tuberculosis sanatorium situated on the outer edge of Delamere Forest in Cheshire. It closed in the 1960s and has since been demolished.[1]
History
The facility was largely financed by Lady Willox and Sir William Hartley and opened as the Liverpool Sanatorium in 1901.[2][3] Admission was restricted to residents of Liverpool.[3] It joined the National Health Service as Crossley Hospital West in 1948 and closed in the 1960s.[2] It was subsequently used as a private nursing home before being demolished.[2]
