Frank James Hospital

The former Frank James Memorial Hospital is a Grade II listed building in East Cowes.

In 2012 members of the local community formed the Friends of Frank James with the aim of protecting and conserving the premises which has fallen derelict over the years. Ownership issues are complex, but discussions are moving forward with the Isle of Wight council to find viable solution.

Below are the articles that OnTheWight has published about the site and the efforts of locals..
