City Heights - Porchester Road
Nottingham,_Mapperley
England

New houses have been built on the grounds surrounding the old Mapperley Mental Hospital, and prestige apartments have been developed within the old hospital buildings. The 'Borough of Nottingham Lunatic Asylum' opened (unfinished) on August 3rd, 1880, occupying 125 acres. It had its own farm, bakery and butchery, along with a church and recreation hall. It was designed by local architect George Thomas Hine, son of TC Hine, the designer of the Coppice Hospital. (Previously, both Town and County patients were accommodated in Sneinton). The hospital finally closed its doors to mentally ill patients in December 1994. The developers of the new estate built at the hospital are David Wilson Homes.
