Proposed Infectious Diseases Hospital, Northwich

NORTHWICH - The Northwich Rural Sanitary Authority proposes to erect a new hospital for infectious diseases, and Mr. L. Booth, architect, Manchester, has prepared plans for a permanent building. These plans have, it seems, been criticised by Dr. Fox, the medical officer of health, who is apparently in favour of a series of temporary sheds or shanties. Mr. Booth, in an exhaustive reply, maintains that to erect a permanent building will be much cheaper in the end, and that due isolation of cases can be provided for.  [Builder 14 September 1878 page 973]
