Jews' Hospital

The Jews' Hospital was a hospital in the East End of London, founded in 1795, as a refuge for poor members of the London Jewish community. The original hospital was opened in 1807 on Mile End Road in Whitechapel and it was relocated to Lower Norwood in the mid 19th-century. The hospital continued in different iterations into the mid-20th century.
