Joseph Guest

Joseph Guest

Joseph Guest was an English chainmaker who developed his industry in the Black Country of Central England during the Industrial Revolution of the 19th century. He is most famous for opening the Dudley Guest Hospital in 1871, having bought the buildings from the Earl of Dudley who had built them in 1849 with the intention of housing miners who had been blinded in the local mines, but the miners had rejected this offer and the buildings remained empty for 22 years until Guest purchased them and opened a hospital.
