Lodge Moor Hospital was built in the 1880's and for over a hundred years it served the people of Sheffield - sometimes known as "The Fever Hospital". Its construction on the edge of the city close to windy moors reflects a Victorian belief that fresh air was helpful for recuperation from illness. The hospital site is now home to a large private housing estate.
