St George's Hospital is a mental health facility in Stafford, Staffordshire, England. The main building is no longer in use but survives and is a Grade II listed building. [1]
The hospital, which was designed by Joseph Potter using an early corridor layout, opened as the Stafford General Asylum in October 1818. [2] New buildings to the rear of the main structure were completed in 1850. [2] A new female block was added in 1879 and a similar male block was added in 1884. [2] The hospital became Stafford Mental Hospital in the 1920s and joined the National Health Service as St George's Hospital in 1948. [3]
After the introduction of Care in the Community in the early 1980s, the need and desire for huge asylum style hospitals reduced and the main building closed in 1995. [2] It was subsequently converted into apartments as St George's Mansions. [4] [5] [6] The inpatient psychiatric facility was moved next door into more modern units with individual bedrooms and recreational facilities. [7]
