Kingsway Hospital Rowditch, Derby, Derbyshire
Derby Borough Asylum
Date founded: 1884 Date opened: 1888
The site is currently owned by the English Partnerships, plans have been submitted for outline planning permission to comprehensively redevelop the Kingsway Hospital site, incorporating housing, employment, retail and open space. It includes the demolition of the existing buildings; the erection of 700 dwellings; business units, retail units.
Explored with Georgie and WIMR.
Also, thanks to DHL and The Cat Crept In, for valuable info.
The site is quite large and almost like a maze, we left satisfied that we saw all of it, after a good few hours. It’s a site worth seeing before the demo crew move in.
JST and Kook, it was good to meet you both whilst in there and providing us with a classic moment (Kook), we are still laughing about that.
