Stoke Miltary 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.
