The East End Maternity Hospital was founded in 1884 as the Mother's Lying-in Hospital in Glamis Road, Shadwell. Its name was changed in 1928. In 1930 it had about 60 beds. During the Second World War the Hospital occupied premises at Hill Hall, Essex, and Tyringham House. With the advent of the National Health Service in 1948 it became part of the Stepney Group of Hospitals, which was merged in 1966 to form the East London Group. The Hospital was closed in 1968.

Some records were transferred by the East London Hospital Management Committee to Tower Hamlets Central Library before 1974 and by the Library to the Royal London Hospital Archives in 1985. The remaining records were transferred from Mile End Hospital.
