In 1912, construction on a 149-bed infirmary started on Great Western Road. Patients were transferred to the new building in 1914. The British Red Cross Society took over the west block for nursing war wounded in 1914 and the east block in 1915. The buildings were completed after the war. In 1930 the infirmary was transferred to the corporation and became known as Gloucester City General Hospital. On the introduction of the National Health Service in 1948 it was amalgamated with the Gloucestershire Royal Infirmary which had stood in Southgate Street. The hospital was rebuilt in the 1960s and eventually incorporated a new 11-storey tower, the work on which started in 1970 and was completed in 1975.
