History

The site chosen for the facility was known as Babington Meadow. [1] The oldest part of the facility, the eastern courtyard, which was designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott and William Bonython Moffatt in the Jacobean style, was opened as the Belper Poor Law Union Workhouse in September 1840. [2] [3] [4] A main entrance lodge to the eastern courtyard was built facing on the Derby Road at around the same time. [5] A large infirmary was added on the western part of the site in 1889. [1] The facility became the Babington House Public Assistance Institution in 1930 [6] and it joined the National Health Service as Babington Hospital in 1948. [1] In June 2018 the NHS Southern Derbyshire Clinical Commissioning Group announced plans to transfer services to a modern facility in Derwent Street. [7]

Belper is a civil parish in the Amber Valley district of Derbyshire, England. The parish contains over 250 listed buildings that are recorded in the National Heritage List for England. Of these, one is listed at Grade I, the highest of the three grades, 15 are at Grade II*, the middle grade, and the others are at Grade II, the lowest grade. The parish contains the town of Belper, the village of Milford, smaller settlements, including Makeney and Bargate, and the surrounding countryside. Industry has been a major feature in the town, initially with nail making, and some workshops have survived and are listed. Major industry arrived towards the end of the 18th century when Jedediah Strutt and Richard Arkwright built a textile mill in the town. Later, Arkwright moved away, and more mills were built by Strutt, and later by his sons. North Mill was built in 1804 by William Strutt, it was one of the first iron-framed and fireproof mills to be built, and is listed at Grade I. The Strutt family built housing for their workers in Belper and Milford, usually in the form of long terraces, many of which have survived and are listed. The family also built farms to produce food for the community, including Crossroads Farm, Dalley Farm, Wyver Farm, and Moscow Farm; the farmhouses and associated farm buildings are listed.
