Hill End Hospital
Hill End Hospital is a healthcare facility located in St Albans, Hertfordshire, England. It was originally established as an asylum in the late 19th century and has since evolved into a modern hospital providing a range of medical services.
History[edit | edit source]
Hill End Hospital was founded in 1899 as the Hertfordshire County Asylum. It was designed by George Thomas Hine, a prominent architect known for his work on asylums. The hospital was built on a 184-acre site and had the capacity to accommodate over 1,000 patients.
In the early 20th century, the hospital underwent several changes. It was renamed the Hill End Mental Hospital in 1920 and later became the Hill End Hospital in 1948. The hospital continued to provide mental health services until it was closed in 1995.
Services[edit | edit source]
Throughout its history, Hill End Hospital provided a range of medical services. These included psychiatric care, nursing care, and rehabilitation services. The hospital also had a pharmacy, a laboratory, and a radiology department.
Legacy[edit | edit source]
After its closure, the hospital's buildings were converted into residential properties. The site is now known as Highfield Park. A small part of the original hospital remains and is used as a day hospital by the Hertfordshire Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust.
