Events during 1998
Prev year in existence - The Main Ward Block in 1997
 * In January 1998, the Main Ward Block was 22 years old when construction of the new Norfolk And Norwich Hospital started. Finally the new hospital was being built, 4 years later than the original start date of work. This sealed the fate of the current N&N Hospital and decisions were still being made about what to do with the site and whether to retain the Main Ward Block and Maternity Block for re use or even to demolish them after all services were to move to the new hospital.
 * Even though construction started in January, the final completion date was still a few years away and the current hospital was to remain open.
