History
The Princess Royal Hospital was purpose built to replace the aging Cuckfield and Haywards Heath hospitals, both located to the far side of Haywards Heath to the current hospital, in the grounds of St Francis Hospital, a mental hospital which had stood on the site since 1859, and was originally named the Sussex County Lunatic Asylum.
The original St Francis hospital was closed and redeveloped for housing the 1990s.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The basic idea which runs right through modern history and modern liberalism is that the public has got to be marginalized. The general public are viewed as no more than ignorant and meddlesome outsiders, a bewildered herd.”
—Noam Chomsky (b. 1928)
“All things are moral. That soul, which within us is a sentiment, outside of us is a law. We feel its inspiration; out there in history we can see its fatal strength.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“We know only a single science, the science of history. One can look at history from two sides and divide it into the history of nature and the history of men. However, the two sides are not to be divided off; as long as men exist the history of nature and the history of men are mutually conditioned.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
