According to "Here be Dragons", by Gillian M James, this building was erected in 1873 as a hospital, by the Lilleshall Company. It was too large and was taken over by Wrockwardine Wood Parish to be used as a school. More recently it became Oakengates Youth Club, subsequently the Youth Centre. Now it is closed and being vandalised. It is likely to be demolished to make room for housing.
