The End of The Norfolk and Norwich Hospital
In late 2001 most of the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital NHS Trust's services had left the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital for the new university hospital on the Norwich Research Park with the last departments vacating the site in January 2003.
In October 2002 a thanksgiving service was held at Norwich Cathedral to mark the contribution the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital and its staff had made over the centuries. Around 800 staff, patients and visitors attended the service of thanksgiving for the old hospital.
The former Norfolk and Norwich Hospital was sold by the Department of Health to developer Persimmon Homes and the site was redeveloped as Fellowes Plain. The medical tradition continues with the Fellowes Plain street names, which are named after notable Norfolk and Norwich Hospital figures ;
- Sarah West Close - after the hospital's first matron
- Thomas Wyatt Close - an architect of the 1883 building
- Edward Jodrell Plain - a major benefactor
- Benjamin Gooch Way - surgeon and hospital founder
- Phillipa Flowerday Plain - first known industrial nurse
- Kenneth McKee Plain - surgeon famed for hip replacements
The St Stephen's Gate Medical Practice, Wessex Street, is also located on the former Norfolk and Norwich Hospital site.
