Cheadle Royal Hospital, originally the Manchester Royal Lunatic Asylum, is a psychiatric hospital situated on Wilmslow Road in Cheadle Royal, an area between the villages of Heald Green and Cheadle. Built between 1848-1849, the main building is Grade II listed and was designed by Richard Lane in the Elizabethan style. It is still a psychiatric hospital, but renamed many years ago to the more palatable Cheadle Royal Hospital. It is an important early example of the Victorian asylum system.
