ASHBY-DE-LA-ZOUCH
Ashby-de-la-Zouch and District Hospital (Ashby-de-la-Zouch and District Cottage Hospital) SK 363 168 100785 part demolished
The cottage hospital was originally built in 1897 and was considerably extended over time. By the the early 1940s it was being run almost entirely by local practitioners. A surgeon from Burton-on-Trent latterly served as a consultant carrying out most of the routine surgery. Emergency cases were mostly sent to one of the hospitals in Burton or Derby. It was taken over by the NHS in 1948 and continued to function as a local hospital, with various fairly modest additions, internal modernisation and some replacement windows. In about 2006 it was no longer considered fit for purpose and in 2017 planning permission was granted for the redevelopment of the site, with the retention of the older parts of the hospital and demolition largely of the post-war additions to the rear.
CHARNWOOD
Charnwood Forest Convalescent Home (Charnwood Hall, Loughborough Convalescent Home), Nanpantan SK 511 161
The foundation stone of was laid on 2 August 1893 for a purpose-built convalescent home designed by the Loughborough architect, George H. Barrowcliff. A convalescent home for Loughborough patients had first been established in rented rooms in a cottage at Woodhouse Eaves in 1875. Its success led to the opening of a second convalescent home on Brand Hill which opened in 1879, intended for Leicester patients. The two homes were merged in 1883 from which time they were officially known as Charnwood Forest Convalescent Homes.

Glenfrith Hospital (Barrow upon Soar Union Workhouse) SK 586 142 largely demolished
Barrow upon Soar Workhouse between 1838 and 1840 at a cost of £6,400. It could accommodate 300 inmates. The architect was William Flint who also designed Leicester Union Workhouse. The layout of the workhouse was based on Sampson Kempthorne’s square plan model published by the Poor Law Commission in 1835.
In 1886, additional men’s vagrants wards were erected followed by an additional block for female vagrants in 1892. In 1911, tenders were taken for general alterations to the workhouse and in 1913 for alterations to the infirmary. Under the NHS it was renamed Glenfrith Hospital (the name also used for the former Leicester Frith Hospital – see above). All that remains of the original buildings is a single-storey brick entrance block now converted to residential use
