West Dorset County Hospital, Dorchester, West Dorset. A view towards the entrance to West Dorset County Hospital, looking north west across the grounds.
In the early 1980s plans were developed for a modern hospital to replace the old Dorchester Hospital, at a new site to the west of the town centre. A joint venture of Laings South West Region and Haden Young Limited were responsible for Phase I of the construction project, which was to provide 149 beds and included maternity and geriatric units, two operating theatres and a pathology and X-ray department. Phase I on the north part of the new site was completed in the late 1980s under the name West Dorset County Hospital. When Phase II on the south part of the site was completed in the mid 1990s, the whole site became known as Dorset County Hospital

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the entrance to West Dorset County Hospital, a significant landmark in Dorchester, West Dorset. The image showcases the hospital's grounds, with a northwestern view towards its entrance. The history of this hospital dates back to the early 1980s when plans were set in motion to replace the old Dorchester Hospital with a modern facility located west of the town center. Phase I of construction was undertaken by Laings South West Region and Haden Young Limited as a joint venture. This initial phase aimed to provide essential medical services such as maternity and geriatric units, two operating theaters, and a pathology and X-ray department. Completed in the late 1980s under the name West Dorset County Hospital, it offered 149 beds for patients. Subsequently, Phase II on the southern part of the site was completed during the mid-1990s, leading to renaming it as Dorset County Hospital. With both phases now complete, this comprehensive medical institution became an integral part of healthcare services in the region. Preserved within Historic England Archive's collection is this remarkable photograph that not only documents architectural achievements but also serves as a testament to progress made in providing quality healthcare facilities for local communities.
