Pilgrim Hospital is a large hospital in the east of Lincolnshire on the A16, north of the town of Boston near the mini-roundabout with the A52. It is situated virtually on the Greenwich Meridian and adjacent to Boston High School. The fenland area of Lincolnshire is covered by this hospital, being the county's second largest hospital after Lincoln County Hospital.HistoryThe former Boston General Hospital was situated on South End. The hospital fully opened in 1976, although parts had been open a few years before, since around 1970. The hospital was officially opened on 23 June 1977, by Princess Anne, when she also visited RAF Waddington.It is named (like many other organisations in Boston) after the town's Pilgrim Fathers. The new building was designed by the Building Design Partnership, one of its earliest public buildings, under Sir George Grenfell Baines, after a design competition in 1961. It was initially run by the South Lincolnshire Health Authority, based in Sleaford.FacilitiesThe main part of the hospital consists of a ten-storey building. This is one of the tallest residential buildings in Lincolnshire. It has twenty wards and has a busy maternity unit. The helicopter landing pad, used by the Lincolnshire & Nottinghamshire Air Ambulance, is a hundred metres north of the main building.
