History

The hospital, which was designed by Alexander Reid in the Tudor Revival style, opened as the Banff District Asylum in May 1865. [2] A separate facility for female patients, briefly known as Woodpark Succursal Asylum, was built in June 1880 but was later fully amalgamated with the main asylum. [3] An additional villa for male patients was completed in 1903. [2] The asylum became Ladysbridge Mental Hospital in the 1920s and joined the National Health Service as Ladysbridge Hospital in 1948. [4] A recreation hall was added in the 1960s. [2]

After the introduction of Care in the Community in the early 1980s, the hospital went into a period of decline and closed in May 2003. [2] The original main building was subsequently converted into terraced housing as "Ladysbridge House" within a larger development known as "Ladysbridge Village". [5]
