Administrative / biographical background

The Workhouse at Stanwell, later known as Staines Union Workhouse and Staines Institution, was built, probably in the 1840's, by the Board of Guardians of the Staines Poor Law Union and administered by the Board until it was transferred to the Middlesex County Council on 1st April 1930 as a Public Assistance Institution. In 1939/40 an emergency hutted hospital was built in the grounds and it became known as Staines Emergency, and later as Staines County Hospital. It continued to be technically administered under poor law powers until the end of World War II in 1945 when it was appropriated to public health purposes and the name again changed to Ashford County Hospital. It was transferred to the North West Metropolitan Regional Hospital Board in 1948, since when it has been known as Ashford Hospital.
