Infectious diseases. Later, maternity, then rehabilitation
The Chiswick Isolation Hospital opened on the corner of
Clayponds Lane and Occupation Lane in 1904, on a site immediately to
the south of the Ealing Isolation Hospital.
In 1921 it became a maternity hospital and was renamed the Clayponds
Maternity Hospital, serving the Brentford, Chiswick and Ealing
districts.
In 1937 maternity services moved to the newly opened Perivale Maternity Hospital, and the Clayponds Maternity Hospital was annexed to the Ealing and Chiswick Isolation Hospital.
In 1948 the Hospital joined the NHS under the control of the South West Middlesex Hospital Management Committee, part of the North West Metropolitan Regional Hospital Board. It had 140 beds and, together with the Perivale Maternity Hospital, was integrated with the King Edward Memorial Hospital.

Present status (January 2008)
Update: November 2014 The Hospital currently has three wards - Rosemary Ward (for the rehabilitation of stroke patients discharged from the specialised stroke units in Charing Cross Hospital and Northwick Park Hospital, Magnolia Ward for patients needing extra care but not the specialised nursing care in an acute hospital, and Jasmine Ward for patients discharged from an acute hospital but in need of rehabilitation before returning home. The Ealing Clinical Commisioning Group, to whom the Hospital now belongs, is seeking to move the services on the site to Ealing Hospital. Thus, Clayponds may be due to close in 2015.
