In the distance on the left is one of the wards of the former Napsbury Hospital which was called the Middlesex County Lunatic Asylum when it was first built. It has been converted into residences by Crest Nicholson. I think that, looking at the Google Earth images of the site which currently show it before its conversion, the block on the right is new, but built in the style of the existing buildings.
