The provided diagrams illustrate the structural modifications made to the Queen Mary Hospital site over a forty-year period, starting from its initial construction in 1960.
In 1960, the site was divided into four distinct sections: a shopping centre in the top-left, a hospital in the top-right, farmland in the bottom-left, and a car park in the bottom-right. By 1980, the site had been redeveloped. The shopping centre was replaced by a cancer centre, and the farmland was converted into a nursing school. Additionally, a pharmacy was introduced between the cancer centre and the hospital, while the car park remained in its original position.
Further changes occurred by 2000. The cancer centre underwent a substantial expansion, occupying the space previously held by the nursing school, which was relocated to the bottom-middle of the site. Consequently, the car park was reduced in size to accommodate this shift. The pharmacy and the hospital remained in their 1980 positions, although the overall footprint of the medical facilities had grown significantly. Overall, the site evolved from a diverse commercial and agricultural area into a comprehensive medical complex.
