Oakwood Hall From 1914-1947
This website sets out to give the history for Oakwood Sanatorium before the National Health Service was established in 1948. Oakwood has always had a colourful history as a First World War V.A.D. Hospital before almost destroyed by fire. When it was rebuilt it was used mainly for treating patients with Tuberculosis.
Researching the history of Rotherham Hospitals and passed medical care is a hobby in which I have been involved with for the last few years. I am not medically trained and my information has been gathered from a number of sources. If you have any information that may differ from the information I have given, pleased do not hesitate to contact me.
