(From Wikipedia): The buildings were originally constructed as almshouses in 1849 by the Earl of Dudley to accommodate workers who had become blind in the limestone pits. In 1871 they were taken over by local chainmaker Joseph Guest, who converted the building to a hospital. By 2018 it was converted to luxury apartments and renamed "Bourne Hall". An Outpatients Centre still operates from newer buildings behind it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guest_Hospital https://www.expressandstar.com/news/local-hubs/dudley/2018/12/19/transformation-of-iconic-dudley-guest-hospital-into-homes-reaches-completion/
