Garlands Hospital was a mental health facility at Carleton near Carlisle in Cumbria, England.

History

The hospital, which was designed by Thomas Worthington and John Augustus Cory using a Corridor Plan layout, opened as the Cumberland and Westmorland Lunatic Asylum in January 1862. [1] The building was implemented by John Augustus Cory, surveyor to the county of Cumberland. [1] It joined the National Health Service as Garlands Hospital in 1948. [1] Concerns were raised in Parliament about the amount of overcrowding in the hospital in 1955. [2]

After the introduction of Care in the Community in the early 1980s, the hospital went into a period of decline and closed in March 1999. [1] The administration block was subsequently converted into apartments. [1]
