Overview

Image: Hospital which was opened on 6 July 1916. The large front doors are rounded at the top to follow the curved brickwork pattern around the entrance. There are three small windows above the doors. On both sides of the entrance are towers with cupolas on the top. On either side above the windows at the edge of the roof is a low decorative concrete wall. Steps with low walls on either side lead up to the entrance which has shrubs on both sides. Three motor vehicles are parked outside the entrance. See also P85_480 and P85_464. This was formerly a reform school and was converted in 1916.
