Nottingham Women's Hospital

Nottingham Women's Hospital, colloquially known as "Peel Street" to residents of Nottinghamshire, was a specialist maternity hospital for women which closed in November 1981. Records of the hospital have been deposited at Manuscripts and Special Collections, The University of Nottingham. Medical Services were transferred to Queen's Medical Centre, Nottingham.

The hospital was inaugurated as a result of a merger between Castle Gate Hospital and Samaritan Hospital, both also in Nottingham. It was viewed at the time that maintaining two separate hospitals was duplicating work, and therefore unnecessary. The new hospital operational in 1923, and then officially opened on 5 November 1929. Patients began to enter in 1930.
