The Board of Guardians Building, Manor Hospital
This Grade II Listed building is the only surviving part of the former workhouse that became part of the Manor Hospital. When I worked there from 1994 to 2005 there was still one block of workhouse buildings used as wards and offices but they were in poor condition and posed a considerable risk. They were demolished when the new hospital buildings were built. This building has been empty for as long as I can remember and although various uses were considered (e.g. a postgraduate centre), nothing has happened. I would like to see a good use made of this rather elegant structure.

Walsall Manor Hospital - new buildings
I worked here from 1994 to 2005 but none of these buildings were there then. The hospital underwent a major £174 million redevelopment from 2007 to 2010. The hospital has 550 acute beds and serves a population of 270,000.
This was a dreadfully dull and later wet Monday afternoon and the pictures were not very good.
