Over time, the pub became known as Ward 9 by doctors and staff alike, seemingly to allay suspicion amongst patients that their care was in the hands of drunkards. The hospital ceased its main business in the 1980s with the building of a new hospital in Turner Road, making it opportune to change the pub’s name to the Tap & Spile. In the late 1990s, it reverted to the Hospital Arms.
