St Mary's Hospital, Melton Mowbray, Leics.
Some buildings remaining in use, e.g. the large house ahead - marked "Children's Community House" - whilst others are very obviously boarded up. This footpath links Thorpe Road, 75m behind the photographer, with the functioning part of the hospital behind and to the right of the Children's Community House.

Off Thorpe Road, Melton Mowbray, Leics.
Originally built as a workhouse in 1836, these premises were designed by Charles Dyer and followed an elongated H-plan plan, rather than one of radial layouts that were more popular at the time. An infirmary designed by R.W. Johnson was constructed on the east side of the workhouse in 1869-70. At its centre were a surgery, a kitchen and nurses’ quarters. Male and female patients used separate entrances, one on each side of the infirmary. A vagrants' block was located on the south side that also contained “work cells’ where stone-breaking was carried out by the inmates. Much later the workhouse became St Mary's Hospital and this was absorbed into the NHS in 1948. These buildings were closed in 2009 or 2010.

St Mary's Hospital, Melton Mowbray, Leics.
This footpath provides a link between the functioning part of the hospital and Thorpe Road (ahead). This boarded-up prefabricated building, plus the area encompassed by plant covered security fencing, highlights the fact that the older, former workhouse part of the hospital is no longer functioning.

St Mary's Hospital, Melton Mowbray, Leics.
Between the workhouse being built in 1836 and it closing - as St Mary's Hospital - in 2009 or 2010, additional buildings and wings were added. This one has the appearance of a small Nurses' Home or a Medical Staff Residence.
