The Castleford, Normanton and District Hospital was a health facility in Lumley Street, Castleford, West Yorkshire, England. It was managed by South West Yorkshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust.

History

The facility was commissioned in 1924: it was available to patients from 1926 but not officially opened by Princess Mary until 23 August 1929.[1] During the 1930s a significant amount of its funding came from Henry Briggs, Son and Co., a local coal mining business.[2] It joined the National Health Service in 1948.[3] A new 120-bed mental health unit opened in the 1970s.[4]

After services transferred to Pontefract Hospital, the hospital closed in 2017.[5] The buildings were demolished in summer 2018 and the site was subsequently developed by Persimmon for residential use.[6]
