This was the Fielden Joint Hospital (Infectious Diseases). I have been informed tat it was later a hospital for children with learning disabilities, and that when it was closed most of the children were moved to Stansfield View. Despite the name, it seems that there was never a private house here. The hospital was founded by the Fielden family, mill-owners and philanthropists of Todmorden. The buildings are dated 1892 and 1905, now converted to houses. New houses have been built on the site of prefabricated buildings.
