Stoke Military Hospital

Stoke Military Hospital

Stoke Military Hospital in Plymouth, England, was completed in 1797. It was built for the British Army on the north side of Stonehouse Creek, to match the Royal Naval hospital on the south side. The workforce was made up of Napoleonic prisoners of war who were housed in prison ships on the Hamoaze.

The hospital was used by the army for 148 years, until the end of World War 2 in 1945. At this time Devonport High School for boys returned from wartime evacuation and took over the buildings.

Before the hospital became Devonport High School for Boys part of it was Tamar Secondary School. You approached both schools by a central driveway from Paradise Road. Devonport High School to the left and Tamar Secondary to the right. Tamar's motto was "The best is yet to be". Tamar was a school strong in sport and admitted girls for the first time in 1973. Tamar closed in the 1980s and was absorbed into Devonport High School.
