This former Medical Superintendent's House, that was built in 1921, sits along side the main drive of this former hospital. It currently houses a non-residential nursery used mainly by employees working for one of the many enterprises on this business estate. The original institution - The Sherwood Forest Sanatorium for TB sufferers - opened in 1902, albeit not in these 'more modern' buildings. It was renamed The Ransom Sanatorium in 1909 in memory of its first Medical Superintendent. In the more recent past however, parts of the site were used as a unit for individuals with learning difficulties (1977-87) and for NHS staff (1992 onwards).
