Leigh Infirmary

Leigh Infirmary is a healthcare facility in The Avenue, Leigh, Greater Manchester, England. It is managed by the Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh NHS Foundation Trust.

History
The site for the facility was a gift from Lord Lilford of Atherton Hall. The facility itself, which was financed by a legacy from Miss Elizabeth Farnworth and by other subscribers, was completed in 1906. A ward was allocated for the treatment of military casualties at the start of the First World War. It joined the National Health Service in 1948. A new diagnostic and treatment centre was officially opened by Andy Burnham, the Shadow Health Secretary and Member of Parliament for the town, in January 2014.
