The main gates and entrance of the former Lodge Moor Hospital. The building on the right was formerly an Nurse Education Centre and is now a private nursery. Originally an isolation hospital, it was built here away from civilisation and in a wall-to-wall fresh air situation. It was later developed into a facility that also cared for patients with a much wider range of conditions and in its later life it boasted a Regional Spinal Injuries Unit. Whilst preservation orders have been used to protect some of the original buildings, including the water tower visible here, the overall site has now been developed into an up-market housing estate.
