Cherry Knowle Hospital was a mental health facility in Ryhope, Tyne and Wear, England. It was managed by the South of Tyne and Wearside Mental Health NHS Trust.
History
[edit | edit source]The hospital was designed by George Thomas Hine using a Compact Arrow layout and construction began in 1893.[1] It was opened as the Sunderland Borough Asylum in 1895.[2] A villa block was added in 1902. Further development took place in the 1930s when an admissions hospital and convalescent villas were built.[1]
During the Second World War emergency medical service huts were established on the site: these were later developed to create Ryhope General hospital.[3]
The asylum joined the National Health Service as Cherry Knowle Hospital in 1948.[4] After the introduction of Care in the Community in the early 1980s, the hospital went into a period of decline and closed in 1998.[2] The buildings were largely demolished in 2011[5] and the site is being redeveloped for residential use.[6]
The Hopewood Park mental health campus opened on the site in 2014.[7]
