Hospital, still in use. It opened as a general voluntary hospital in 1869, built to a design by William Fettis (or Fetties). A year later, an infectious diseases hospital was built to the North-West (NO66SW0050). It was used as an auxiliary hospital for the Red Cross during World War I. The 2nd edition OS map (1901) shows a T-plan building, with an L-plan building directly to the North-East. By 1922, the L-plan building is extended, and the South-West elevation of the T-plan building has had two projecting bays added. There are two joined buildings to the North, shown on the 2nd edition OS map as both being rectangular, and at this time separated from the hospital. By 1922, the larger of the two joined buildings has been extended into an L-plan. The hospital grounds now includes the two joined buildings to the North, and the space between them and the early-19th century hospital buildings has been filled by a large modern hospital, made up of two L-plan buildings, and a smaller rectangular building. The original T-plan and L-plan wings have been joined into one larger two-storey T-plan building. The South-East front elevation has a projecting pedimented central three bays, with a clock within the pediment. To the West of this is another modern hospital wing.
