Kew Cottages

Located on the asylum's grounds, the children's cottages were established to provide separate accommodation for child inmates who had previously been housed with adult patients.

The function of the institution was to provide accommodation and educational instruction for intellectually disabled children.

[1] In April 1996, nine residents, all men and aged from 30 to 40, died in a fire.

[2] The two cottages, with a shared roof, had been housing 25 people at the time.

The institution was finally closed in July 2008,[3] after the grounds were redeveloped from 2001 to October 2006.
