St George's Hospital, Morpeth

St George's Hospital was a mental health facility in Morpeth, Northumberland.

The facility was designed by Henry Welch, the County Surveyor of Northumberland, using a corridor plan layout and opened as the Northumberland County Pauper Lunatic Asylum on 16 March 1859.

[1] It was extended in the 1880s and three villas were added in the 1890s, before it was renamed St George's Hospital in the 1930s.

[3] After the introduction of Care in the Community in the early 1980s, the hospital went into a period of decline and closed in 2006.

[4] Meanwhile, a small modern health facility, which was named St George's Park was built slightly to the north of the old hospital.
