Nottingham's Castle Gate Hospital, 29-31 Castle Gate, was a women's hospital opened to some controversy in 1875:〔 and later merged with Samaritan Hospital in Raleigh Street to become the Nottingham Women's Hospital in Peel Street.〔〔 Early references to the Castle Gate hospital named it simply as Nottingham Hospital for Women.〔 The hospital included an out-patient department which opened on 24 September 1875 and in the first year of opening 364 patients were seen with 2,271 attendances. There were initially only 2 in-patient beds but which were increased to 8 on the 1 July 1876 with reports of being almost completely filled thereafter for that first year with 33 admissions. All patients had to pay fees with the total revenue of £55 9s. 3d. from out-patients, £42 14s. 6d. from in-patients, making a total of £98 3s. 9d in 1875-1876. In that first year it was reported that there were no deaths.〔 By 1886, the year after the Samaritan Hospital for Women opened, the Annual Reports were referring to expenses exceeding income even though patients were reporting coming from as far as Leicester and Derby. The out-patient department had 697 patients with 3,975 attendances and 75 in-patients.〔 The buildings were grade-II listed on 11 August 1952〔 and housed the Radio Trent and Trent FM from 1975 to 2007.〔 Following an investment of over £5m and 2 years of work, NGY myplace opened on 10 April 2012 offering a range of services for young people including a fitness suite, recording studio, counselling and health services.〔 29-31 Castle Gate is reputedly haunted by several ghosts including a woman resembling a matron, an elderly woman dressed in black, a man in military uniform, young officers of the cavalry regiment and a soldier riding a white horse through the stairwells. In the 1990s, whilst Trent FM broadcast it was reported that the heavy soundproof doors would open and close themselves.〔〔 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nottingham Castle Gate Hospital」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
