Wenley Hospital

Wenley Hospital was a general hospital near Wenley Moor, Derbyshire. It received patients who had become infected with the Silurian virus. Chief amongst these patients were Doris Squire, wife a local farmer, and Major Baker, head of security at the Wenley Moor nuclear research facility. To prevent the outbreak of an epidemic, UNIT put the entire hospital under strict quarantine, while the Doctor and Liz Shaw used the facilities to successfully develop an antidote to the virus. Sadly, they were not able to do so prior to the death of Baker, and likely that of Squire as well.

A known member of staff was Dr. Meredith, who was likely the first person to discover the Silurian plague as a part of his regular visits to the staff of the nearby nuclear facility. Also known to work there were the doctor and nurse who treated Baker; the Brigadier was forced to stop them at gunpoint from leaving the facility in order to enforce the quarantine.
