St Luke's Hospital, Middlesbrough
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
St Luke's Hospital, Middlesbrough, North Yorkshire, England is unique as it is a remaining example of a well intact Victorian Asylum. The building now provides a range of services for adults and older people with mental health problems and learning disabilies. It also contains the regional medium secure psychiatric unit in a modern building to the rear of the hospital called the Hutton Centre. The hospital lies beside the 1010 bedded James Cook University Hospital. It was built from 1893-1898 and was first named Middlesbrough Borough Asylum.
The trust Tees Esk and Wear Valleys NHS trust (who also run the modern West Park Hospital in Darlington and Earls House Hospital in Durham), are planning to replace the hospital with a new 312 bedded facility so that all inpatients can benefit from having their own bedrooms.
