Comments about this page

The plans for the Dukeries building began in the 1960s as the present unit was too small for the needs of the expanding area and more women were now chosing to have their babies in hospital. Construction started in 1970 and the unit opened 13th January 1974. The unit was later officially opened by Her Grace The Duchess of Devonshire.
