The Main Ward Block in 1992

1992 was 17 years since the first usage of the Main Ward Block. This year, plans to build a new Norfolk & Norwich Hospital were well underway, and construction was due to start in 1994 and be complete by 1999. But the current hospital was to remain open for at least another decade.

Events during 1992
Prev year in existence - The Main Ward Block in 1991
 * In March 1992, the recommendation was put forward for a new hospital site with the eventual closure of the current site including the Main and Maternity Blocks. Construction was due to start in 1994 and be completed in 1999 and the current hospital to close once the new hospital was ready for use. However the final completion date was later delayed, and finally completed in 2001. The current hospital was to remain open for another 10 years by 1992. The split site option was put on ice.
 * In 1992 (or 1993) a window fell out of the Main Ward Block. (I am yet to check old newspaper records to find out when this incident occurred).
