The Towers Hospital, a distinctive red brick Victorian building, first opened in September 1869 as the Leicester Borough Lunatic Asylum. Its name was changed to mental hospital in 1912 and became the Towers Hospital early in 1947. It was sold by the NHS in 2010, and is currently being converted into private apartments.
