The main gates and entrance to the former Lodge Moor Hospital. The building on the right (formerly a Nurse Education Centre and now a private nursery) is the last building on the left-hand side of this road that leads to the nearby Redmires Reservoir and then on to the moors. It was this isolated location that led to the hospital being built here. Originally built as an Isolation facility for smallpox cases, it was later developed into a hospital caring for patients with a wider range of conditions. Also, in its later life it boasted a Regional Spinal Injuries Unit. Whilst preservation orders have been used to protect some of the original buildings, the site overall has now been developed into an up-market housing estate.
