The main hospital entrance and administration block ... now nicely converted into apartments. This central building has 'wings' - which were the actual wards - on either side. The hospital was built as an isolation hospital for TB Patients who also suffered from Orthopaedic symptoms. Update on 29.12.09 ... I have been kindly contacted by Peter Crouch who confirms that the hospital was designed by Arthur Kenyon, with the design and plans being featured in an architectural magazine in January 1929 ... thanks Peter. Update on 23.02.10 ... There are a number of pictures on the picturesheffield.com website which show the hospital as a working hospital. Follow this link ... http://www.picturesheffield.com/ ... then Select H and then Hospitals in the search facility ... then you have to scroll through them all.
