The two blocks on the left were built as a Nurses' Home (Birch House) in 1921. They are now known as Oak House 1 and Oak House 2 and are offices belonging to various business enterprises. The house in the distance, now known as Ash House, was formerly The Sisters' Home. These 'more modern' buildings are situated alongside the former main drive of what was originally the Sherwood Forest Sanatorium (built 1902). In 1909 the institution was renamed Ransom Sanatorium following the death of its first Medical Superintendent from TB. From 1977-87 it served as a unit for individuals with learning difficulties and after these clients had been rehoused elsewhere it became a base for NHS staff from the late 90s.
