It is said that Queen Victoria had given permission for it to be named the "Halifax Royal Infirmary" but that the Duke announced the wrong name, which was then retained. The wards were named after people who subscribed to the building costs and included local families and industrialists. It became part of the National Health Service in 1948, then part of the Calderdale Healthcare NHS Trust, which in 2001 merged into the Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust. The hospital was closed in 2001 on the opening of the new Calderdale Royal Hospital. After closure some of the buildings were converted to residential use and known as "The Royal". Eleven blocks of the buildings, a lodge and elements of the boundary walls, are Grade II listed buildings.
