Former chapel at Shelton Hospital
This building, now converted to a private residence, was originally the chapel attached to the former Shropshire and Wenlock Borough Lunatic Asylum, and dates from the same period, around 1845. At the time of its Grade II listing https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101255091-chapel-at-shelton-hospital-shrewsbury & https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1255091 in 1993, it was described as retaining many of its internal features, including wood furniture and fittings such as pews, pulpit and candelabra torcheres. Whether those have survived the subsequent conversion to a house is open to debate.

Housing developments in and around the former Shelton Hospital
Shelton Hospital started life as Shropshire and Wenlock Borough Lunatic Asylum in March 1845, a name which certainly wouldn't pass muster these days! It was extended about 30 years later, and then renamed as the Salop Mental Hospital just after WW1. It closed as a National Health Service facility in 2012, and whilst some of the smaller buildings on site have been demolished, the main ward blocks and the chapel have been converted to housing; it now sits in the middle of the extensive Leighton Park housing estate. The whole main block was Grade II listed https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101270532-shelton-hospital-shrewsbury & https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1270532 in 1993.

Part of Napoleon Drive, Shelton, Shrewsbury
A typical quiet modern suburban road with a curious choice of name maybe. Ironically a 'mental health village' is being built close by. No joke.
