 Most of the hospital was rebuilt between 1929 and 1939, on the far side not visible from Tipton Road, though part of these new buildings were visible from Birmingham New Road which opened in 1927 and allowed for a second vehicular access point (which was closed in the 1990s).A new pre-fabricated timber/plaster board annex was added in the 1960s, and survived until the hospital's closure.The hospital's accident and emergency department closed in the spring of 1984 and was relocated to the new Russells Hall Hospital.
