Parkside Hospital was a mental health facility at Victoria Road in Macclesfield, Cheshire, England. The administration block survives and is a Grade II listed building.[1]
History[]
The hospital, which was designed by Robert Griffiths in the Italianate style using a corridor-pavilion layout, opened as the Second Cheshire County Asylum in May 1871.[2] A female epileptic block was completed in 1891 and a male epileptic block was completed in 1903.[2] It became Cheshire County Mental Hospital in 1920 and joined the National Health Service as Parkside Hospital in 1948.[3]
After the introduction of Care in the Community in the early 1980s, the hospital went into a period of decline and closed in January 1997.[2] The main administration block was subsequently converted into apartments.[2]
