This former chapel and recreation hall block, together with the wooden fence, form the boundary between what was once Mapperley mental hospital – much of which has been redeveloped into the “City Heights” housing complex – and the remaining part of the site that continues to function as a much smaller mental health unit. This view from the north west shows an internal hospital road that is used for vehicles accessing the rear of "Duncan Macmillan House". This imposing two-storey building is constructed of brick with a pitched slate roof, the former chapel occupying the upper part of it and the former recreation hall the ground floor unit, both constructed as separate entities. This twin-purpose block was completed in 1888 as part of a further extension of the hospital’s capacity.

Panorama of Mapperley Hospital
This was opened in 1880 as the Nottingham Borough Asylum, and "You'll end up in Mapperley" was common local usage when anyone acted strangely. It closed as a mental hospital in 1994, although a large part is still used by the NHS. The buildings are strung out along a ridge and can be seen to advantage from this location. The main left hand wing was the female wing, with the superintendents dwelling next to it. This part is now Duncan Macmillan House, which includes a psychiatric unit and training facilities. Further right is the chapel, and the main right hand wing was the male wing. This has now been converted into apartments, together with the new buildings at the right hand side of the picture. The buildings were designed by G.T.Hine, son of the architect of the nearby Coppice Hospital. Hine's work at Mapperley launcehed him as consultant architect to H.M. Commissioners for Lunacy.

Nottingham - NG3
On the right-hand side of this fence is one of the internal roads of the now defunct Mapperley psychiatric hospital seen passing the side of part of Duncan Macmillan House, the only section of the hospital still providing mental health services. Behind the black car on the left-hand side of the fence one of the end elevations of the derelict hospital church can be seen. The older building to the left of the church is "Nightingale House" on Ockbrook Drive, a part of this Victorian hospital that has been converted into modern apartments. Complementing this older section of the former hospital one of several new apartment blocks are also apparent.
