Notice biographique
The Hampstead General Hospital was founded in 1882 in South Hill Park Road as the Hampstead Home Hospital and Nursing Institute by Dr William Heath Strange, with the aim of providing care for people who did not wish to be treated at a public hospital, but could afford to pay a small amount for their treatment. In 1894 it changed its name to the Hampstead Hospital and in 1902, when the number of patients had outgrown the original building, the foundation stones of a new building were laid on Haverstock Hill. However, by 1907 the money for this project had run out, and the only way to complete the project was to merge with the North-West London Hospital in Camden Town, becoming the Hampstead General and North-West London Hospital. Thereafter the in-patients were treated in the new Hampstead General on Haverstock Hill and outpatients at the Camden site. In 1912 a new outpatients department was built at Bayham Street, Camden, in the house in which Charles Dickens had lived as a boy. The hospital became part of the Royal Free Group in 1948. It was demolished in 1975 to make way for the building of the new Royal Free.

Histoire archivistique
Records of this hospital were largely rescued by Dr Edith Gilchrist, honorary archivist of the Royal Free Hospital, during the demolition of the hospital in 1975.
Much ephemeral and photographic material has been collected together over the years with provenance often unrecorded. The records along with the rest of the Royal Free Hospital and associated collections were transferred from the archives centre to London Metropolitan Archives in 2013.
