History

The hospital has its origins in Earl's House Industrial School, which was opened as a vocational residential school by the magistrates of County Durham in 1885 on the former site of Earl's House Farm. [2] The school was declared unfit for purpose in the 1920s and, in 1928, Earl's House Sanatorium was established on the site. [3]

The sanatorium treated children with tuberculosis until 1953, when it became Earl's House Hospital - caring for people with mental health issues and learning disabilities. [4] The hospital was used as an annex to Prudhoe and Monkton Hospital to accommodate about 120 children with learning difficulties in 1966. [5] In 2003 it was announced that more than 50 patients were being moved from "outdated villas" at the hospital into "more modern accommodation with specially-adapted housing." [6]

The hospital was procured under a Private Finance Initiative contract in 2008. It was announced that the new facility, named Lanchester Road Hospital, would provide adult mental health and learning disability services in "a safe, homely and therapeutic environment." [7] The new facility, built at a cost of £17.9 million, opened in 2010. [8]
