The arch and window over are all that survive of the casualty department of the Royal Northern Hospital. The inscribed foundation and dedication stones at plinth level are set behind rounded granite bollards. The segmental archway is surrounded by rusticated quoins. Above is a 16/9–pane sash window, and behind the iron gates, on either side of the archway, are inscribed Portland stone walls bearing the names of the borough's 1,307 war dead. The hospital was closed in 1992, and the site redeveloped by Bellway Homes. The arch was retained as a memorial to the dead of the borough.
