St George's Hospital was situated off Wood Lane where now exists Castle Lodge Avenue and associated houses.
It was built in 1903 to a design by Leeds architect Edward J. Dodgshun by the Rothwell, Methley and Hunslet Joint Isolation Hospital Committee which was formed under the Isolation Hospitals Act 1893 by an order of the West Riding County Council 10 January 1900.
When first constructed it was known as the New Union Workhouse and Infirmary for the Hunslet Union, On being taken over by the Leeds Public Assistance Committee in 1934 it was renamed St George’s Hospital.
In 1934 it was transferred to the Leeds Health Committee.
In 1948, the hospital was managed by the Leeds Group B Hospital Management Committee.
After local government reorganisation in 1974 it was transferred to the Leeds Eastern District and soon after to the Leeds Western District.
The hospital was closed in December 1991.
From 1934 the hospital provided accommodation for the elderly ill, patients with chronic and acute mental illness, persons with learning disabilities, a maternity ward and a separate isolation ward.
The site was developed for housing at the start of the 21st century but the original tall clock tower remains.

Rothwell Temperance Band is a Championship section brass band founded in Rothwell in 1984.
Although they do not rehearse in Rothwell itself, they have strong connections with the town and hold many concerts for the local community.
They actually rehearse in Wakefield.
The closest Champion Section Brass Band is the Yorkshire Imperial Urquhart Travel Band, formerly of the Yorkshire Imperial Copperworks based in Stourton, from which the band is named.
The Imps, as they are more commonly known, merged with the original Rothwell Band (founded 1881) in the 1990s.

Rothwell has a long history of coal mining.
It was a site of early mining, using a system known as bell pits.
Coal mining has been carried out in the area for over 600 years, though coal production stopped on 9 December 1983.
There were many local pits including the Fanny, the Rose and Rothwell Water Haigh.
In 1995, Leeds City Council and Leeds Groundwork formed a partnership which, together with local residents and community groups, transformed the former colliery into a 50-hectare country park.

Rothwell was constituted an urban district in the West Riding of Yorkshire under the Local Government Act 1894.
In 1937 it was expanded by taking in the Methley urban district and Hunslet Rural District.

It was incorporated into the City of Leeds metropolitan borough, West Yorkshire by the Local Government Act 1972.
Its inclusion in the Leeds district as opposed to the Wakefield metropolitan district was controversial: originally planned for the Leeds district, it was added to the Wakefield district at the request of residents, but then moved to the Leeds district by the House of Lords.
