Welwyn Private Hospital, on Simmons Street, had been owned and operated by Doctor WW Martin and Doctor SH Weedon from 1923. It was leased by the directors of the Wagga Wagga Base Hospital Board from 1939 until 1942, accommodating an average of 10 patients a day. The lease was renewed in 1942 and with ‘meagre veranda accommodation’ managed to accommodate 18 patients at a time. It closed about March 1946 because of the difficulty in obtaining staff. It was sold to the Department of Main Roads on July 26, 1946. (Sherry Morris Collection)
