The Stead Primary Care Hospital was a NHS-run hospital located on Kirkleatham Street in the town of Redcar, England. The hospital was opened in 1929 as the 'Stead Memorial Hospital', in memory of metallurgical doctor John Edward Stead, on the site of his family home. It operated for 81 years, becoming the town's main hospital until 2010, when it was then closed and left abandoned.[1]
Present
The Redcar Primary Care Hospital, a £30-million[2] construction, took on all its services and effectively replaced the Stead in 2010, and continues operating as the town's major care facility. There is a memorial to its predecessor in the main lobby.[3]
Until it began undergoing demolition in 2013, the Stead building became a popular site for urban explorers.[4]
