Nottingham - NG5
Image: © David Hallam-Jones Taken: 21 Apr 2012
This former chapel and recreation hall block, together with the wooden fence, form the boundary between what was once Mapperley mental hospital – much of which has been redeveloped into the “City Heights” housing complex – and the remaining part of the site that continues to function as a much smaller mental health unit. This view from the north west shows an internal hospital road that is used for vehicles accessing the rear of "Duncan Macmillan House". This imposing two-storey building is constructed of brick with a pitched slate roof, the former chapel occupying the upper part of it and the former recreation hall the ground floor unit, both constructed as separate entities. This twin-purpose block was completed in 1888 as part of a further extension of the hospital’s capacity.
