Kingsway Hospital

Kingsway Hospital was a mental health facility in Derby, England.

The hospital, which was designed by Benjamin Jacobs using a dual courtyard layout, opened as the Derby Borough Asylum in November 1888.

[1] After the introduction of Care in the Community in the early 1980s, the hospital went into a period of decline and patient numbers reduced significantly.

[1] In the late 1990s eleven men died in unusual circumstances at the hospital: an inquiry led by Sir Richard Rougier found that food and drink had been deliberately withheld.

[1] Most of the buildings have since been demolished and the site redeveloped by Kier Group as Manor Kingsway.
