History

The hospital, which was designed by Robert Griffiths in the Italianate style using a corridor-pavilion layout, opened as the Second Cheshire County Asylum in May 1871. [2] A female epileptic block was completed in 1891 and a male epileptic block was completed in 1903. [2] It became Cheshire County Mental Hospital in 1920 and joined the National Health Service as Parkside Hospital in 1948. [3]

After the introduction of Care in the Community in the early 1980s, the hospital went into a period of decline and closed in January 1997. [2] The main administration block was subsequently converted into apartments. [2]
