Brookwood Hospital

A third asylum, Cane Hill Hospital at Coulsdon in the eastern part of the county, followed in 1882.

[3] It was the leading mental hospital for the western half of Surrey, occupying a large site at Knaphill, near Brookwood.

[3] Since the hospital's closure the land has been sold off for development for housing, and the clock tower and the central building around it, which is listed, has been converted into luxury apartments.

A large two-storey building that was originally the hospital's social club has been converted and registered as a children's day care centre and nursery.

This catalogue has made the archive available to researchers as a source for medical, social and local historians.
