Ingham and Irstead Wards, 10th Floor of Main Block

The Ingham and Irstead Wards were the private rooms on the top floor of the Main Ward Block. These wards were the first wards to be used by patients and staff when the MWB started being used for hospital usage in September 1975. Each room was for one patient only. The layout of this floor was a bit different to the floors below. Instead of 4 and 6 bed bays, these 2 wards had a private room for each patient, but the lift foyer, central areas and service corridor at the back were the same layout as the wards below.

Ingham Ward
The Ingham Ward, named after Ingham in Norfolk, was to the west of the lift foyer. This ward contained 20 private hospital rooms.

Irstead Ward
The Irstead Ward had the same amount of private rooms as the Ingham Ward. The Irstead Ward was to the east of the main lift foyer. This floor also had access stairs to the rooftop boiler rooms. This was not the central stairwell to all floors next to the bed lifts, the central stairwell stopped at this floor.
