The Suffolk General Hospital, Hospital Road, opened on 4 January 1825 in a former Napoleonic Ordnance Depot, the 'footprint' of which is the central range and flanking towers. The hospital was extended in 1861, the balconies being added in 1908. Until 1948 the hospital was voluntary and wards were named after local benefactors, such as Bristol (of Ickworth) Praed (of Ousden) and Hasted (of Bury). A new hospital opened at Hardwick Lane in 1974 and these buildings were demolished for housing in 1979. Some of the buildings became Cornwallis Court, a Masonic Retirement Home, in 1981
