Barnsley Hall Hospital was a psychiatric facility located in Bromsgrove, Worcestershire.
The hospital was based on a 324-acre (131 ha) site purchased by the County Council in 1899.
[1] Originally reserved as an Area of Development Restraint following the closure of the hospital,[2] the land has been replaced by residential development as part of a drive to sell off NHS property in order to increase national housing stock in conjunction with a government plan to construct housing at affordable rents, while the sale would boost the NHS funds.
[3] After closure, only the administration block, part of the original complex designed by architect George Thomas Hine, an airing court shelter, and the porter's lodge, were retained.
[4] Attempts to get its landmark water tower listed failed and it was finally demolished in 2000.
