This site still had three working Lancashire boilers and a disused reciprocating steam engine powerhouse with two Belliss and morcom steam engines. The boiler plant has gone but the engines will hopefully be listed as a now rare example of a private power house. The hospital is now a university campus. The church contains a museum of the hospital.
