ASHBOURNE
Ashbourne Cottage Hospital (Victoria Cottage Hospital; now Victoria Court) SK 180 469 102410
Ashbourne Cottage Hospital was built in 1903 to designs by the architect A. E. Evill of Manchester. Founding a cottage hospital had been proposed in 1887 to mark Queen Victoria’s Jubilee, modelled on the hospital in Leek. Nothing was done until 1899 when a hospital seems to have opened in Buxton Road in an existing house, replaced by the purpose-built hospital. Like many cottage hospitals of this era it was designed in a domestic stockbroker Tudor style. The main range is two storeys, red brick to the ground storey and white-painted render above, and a proliferation of half-timbered gables.
A separate nurses’ home was first proposed in 1911, but may not have been built. The hospital itself was extended after the Second World War in 1947, just before transfer to the NHS. It closed in 1967 after which it was divided into seven flats and renamed Victoria Court. It was derelict in May 2019, photographs from that time can be seen on Derelict Places.
St Oswald’s Hospital (former, originally Ashbourne Union Workhouse) SK 174 464 102411 demolished
Ashbourne Poor Law Union was formed in 1845 comprised of 61 townships in the surrounding area. The former parish workhouse in Dig Street was sold in 1846 and work put in hand on the new building to designs by Henry Isaac Stevens, architect of Derby. The new building was completed in 1848. Vagrant wards were added in 1855. There was an infirmary range to the rear. The workhouse became a hospital under the NHS and an outpatients’ department added in about the 1950s. [see workhouses.org for more details and photographs of the hospital.]
