St Clement's Hospital was a mental health facility at Foxhall Road in Ipswich, Suffolk, England.

History

The hospital, which was designed by William Ribbans in the Italianate style using a single linear corridor layout, opened as the Ipswich Borough Lunatic Asylum in 1870. [1] An extra story was added to the building in the 1890s and it became Ipswich Mental Hospital in 1908. [1] The hospital joined the National Health Service as St Clement's Hospital in 1948. [2]

After the introduction of Care in the Community in the early 1980s, the hospital went into a period of decline and closed in 2002. [1] The main buildings were subsequently converted into offices for administrative use by Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust. [3] This use continued until early 2017 when the buildings were converted into apartments as Belgrove Place. [4]
