The Nether Edge Hospital was a health facility in Union Road, Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England. The main building, known as the Kingswood Building, remains a Grade II listed building. [1]
The facility has its origins in the Ecclesall Bierlow Union Workhouse which was designed by William Flockton and opened in 1844. [2]
In December 1940, during the Second World War, the dining hall and nurses' home were damaged by enemy bombing. [2]
It became Nether Edge Hospital in 1929 and joined the National Health Service in 1948. [2] The main hospital closed in 1990 and most of the site was acquired by Gleeson Homes in 1997 and subsequently developed for residential use. [3] Some of the newer buildings, located off Osborne Road, were retained by the NHS and amalgamated to form the Michael Carlisle Centre which was officially opened as a mental health facility by the Duchess of Gloucester in October 1999.
