The Manchester Eye and Ear Hospital was founded as a voluntary hospital in 1888, and was renamed St John's Hospital of Manchester and Salford for the Eye and Ear in 1909. The hospital had only 12 beds, but took patients from all over the region and developed a reputation for good specialist care. Medical services for the eye were discontinued in 1913, and the hospital changed its name to St John's Hospital of Manchester and Salford for the Ear. The Hospital closed in 1949.
