These buildings were retained and converted following the closure and redevelopment of Weston Hospital in the 1990s. As a Reformatory School for Insane Persons, it was taken over by Warwickshire County Council in 1929 to form the nucleus of a 'colony' – a more-or-less self-supporting community of people with mental illness or learning disability – a satellite of the central mental hospital at Hatton near Warwick Image Ten years on OS Explorer is still showing the hospital surrounded by a jumble of ancillary buildings including a water tower that has been demolished.
