Trafford General Hospital is a district general hospital in Davyhulme, Greater Manchester, England, managed by Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust. Work began on what was originally named Davyhulme Park Hospital, established by the Barton-upon-Irwell Union, in 1926. The Barton-upon-Irwell Union had been established in keeping with the requirement of the Poor Law Amendment Act 1834 for parishes to create unions offering provision to the poor. The hospital opened to patients on 17 December 1928, officially opened by Princess Mary, Viscountess Lascelles on 1 June 1929. When opened the hospital could accommodate 500 patients. The electro-therapeutic and x-ray departments were well equipped. The building costs were less than those of existing similar hospitals; the costs for furniture and equipment much less than was usually the case at that time.
