The second South Shields Union Workhouse opened on Harton Lane in 1880. Additional wards and infirmary buildings were built in the 1880s and 1890s, and a new nurses' home was added in the early 20th century. The workhouse infirmary later became the municipal hospital and by 1930 it was known, along with the workhouse, as the 'Harton Institution and General Hospital'. When the hospital joined the NHS in 1948 it was renamed South Shields General Hospital. The site was developed further and the hospital was known as South Tyneside District Hospital by the 1990s. Many of the original Victorian buildings were demolished.
