The centrepiece of the Countess of Chester Hospital, built as the County Lunatic Asylum in 1827-29 by William Cole (jr). The pediment contains a "surprisingly jolly representation" of the Cheshire arms. Grade II listed. Modern hospital additions lie to the south, although this building still houses a variety of medical services.
