St Andrew's Hospital was a mental health facility in Thorpe St Andrew, Norwich, Norfolk, England. The main building survives and it is a Grade II listed building.[1]
History
The hospital joined the National Health Service as St Andrew's Hospital in 1948.[2] After the introduction of Care in the Community in the early 1980s, the hospital went into a period of decline and closed in April 1998.[3] The main buildings were subsequently converted into apartments as St Andrew's Park.[3]
Northside
Northside is unlisted and was designed in 1881; in 2012, two thirds of it were demolished but the clock tower, two ranges on either side, the former mortuary and pavilion were kept.[4] In October 2023 there was a fire which was believed to be arson.[5]
