Staffordshire / Re: Stoke War Hospital WW1

The following may be of use.
There were two hospitals on the complex that is now known as University Hospital of North Staffordshire. Stoke Military Hospital was on the General Hospital Site Adjacent to the A34 Road. It received wounded soldiers and had 711 beds for other ranks no officers beds. The surviving buildings are listed and so have escaped being demolished when the new hospital was constructed. A Block was built in 1886 as a school for 250 children living in the Workhouse. photographs and details on this link: http://www.thepotteries.org/tour/020.htm
The other site, off Queens Rd is the Royal Hospital Site and in WW1 all, or part of it, was a Red Cross convalescent hospital but I have not researched this hospital
