HistoryThe Royal Cornwall Infirmary was designed by William Wood[1] and paid for by King George IV.[2] It had just 20 beds[2] when it opened on 12 August 1799.[1] It was the first of its kind in Cornwall and was designed to service the mining community.[3] During the First World War it provided 50 beds to the War Office for serious medical cases from the Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry.[1] It joined the National Health Service in 1947.[1] After expanding to provide 180 beds in 1939,[4] it was badly damaged by 500kg bombs and by machine gun fire on 6 August 1942 during the Second World War.[2][5] Services were transferred from the Infirmary to the Royal Cornwall Hospital at Treliske in the mid-1990s. The infirmary closed down in 1999, and has since been redeveloped with housing.[1] References1. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite web|url=https://www.royalcornwallmuseum.org.uk/the-royal-cornwall-infirmary-during-the-first-world-war|title=The Royal Cornwall Infirmary during the First World War|publisher=Royal Cornwall Museum|accessdate=11 September 2018}} 2. ^1 2 {{cite web|url=https://www.cornwalllive.com/news/cornwall-news/how-truros-first-hospital-opened-1756668|title=How Truro's first hospital was opened in 1799 with just 20 beds and was bombed during WWII|date=8 July 2018|publisher=Cornwall Live|accessdate=11 September 2018}} 3. ^{{cite book|last1=Polsue|first1=Joseph|title=A Complete Parochial History of the County of Cornwall: Compiled from the Best Authorities & Corrected and Improved from Actual Survey|date=1868|publisher=W.
