Crawley Hospital Main Entrance

The first hospital in Crawley opened in 1896.  It was started by Sarah Robinson in a private house in Robinson Road, following a suggestion by Dr Timothy Martin.  It had two wards, one for men and one for women, with two beds in each ward, and gradually grew into a small cottage hospital with fourteen beds.  At the end of the last century, Crawley had a population of approximately 500 people.

The present hospital was built in four stages, with the last phase being completed in the spring of 1988.

Today, Crawley and Horsham's population is estimated at around 170,000 to 180,000 with almost seventy percent of people living in the two towns.  The population is growing fast, particularly in the over 65 age group.
