The Main Ward Block in 2000

2000 was the 25th anniversary year of the first usage of the ward block. Construction of the new hospital in Colney near Norwich was now in its 2nd year and was nearing completion by the end of 2000. In November 2000, after several negotiations over the future of the current N&N Hospital, the decision was made to demolish the MWB and Maternity Block in 2 or 3 years time once the new hospital was fully up and running. The demolition was decided when a property developer put in an offer to buy the site for housing. Some of the old buildings would also see the bulldozer.
