🏥 Saxondale Hospital

Saxondale Hospital was a psychiatric hospital near Radcliffe-on-Trent in Nottinghamshire, England. It was built at the turn of the 20th century to replace the Sneinton Asylum in Nottingham, reflecting the wider movement towards purpose-built county mental hospitals on rural sites. The hospital opened in 1902 as the Radcliffe Asylum and later became Saxondale Hospital in 1947 following its incorporation into the National Health Service. It closed in 1987 and the site has since been redeveloped as a residential area now known as Upper Saxondale.
