Wilton Road - The Old Manor site. The Old Manor Hospital site comprises two areas of land, separated by the Wilton Road. By far the largest is that on the south side of the road, which contains three listed buildings and a listed fountain. The part on the north side contains a further two listed buildings, and all the site is within the Salisbury conservation area. In the 1920s and 30s the Old Manor Hospital was, according to one account, the largest private mental hospital in Europe. It was taken over by the state in 1954, at which time it had 672 beds, though this had reduced to 288 beds by 1978

This report is about the two listed buildings on the north side of the site, I have posted a picture of the actual hospital as it is absolutely stunning, on this particular day I managed to see the two listed buildings ...

Someone I know used to work in the kitchens at this place and said even then it was the spookiest place she ever had been. The ward for severely affected mental patients was railed so they were secure at all times.

Or light reflection off the dust, which has been proven over and over again.
 
They redeveloped half the site already with new NHS buildings and alot has already gone. I am there once or twice a month for Doctors and before that I used to use the hospital when it was used for stuff like non urgent Xrays. The chapel is AFAIK also listed and has some lovely stained glass windows but like everything else its all bricked up.

Great Pictures of the buildings on the other side of the street, I don't know when you took them but in the last week they have stepped up the work and it looks like they are beginning the redevelopment work, certainly got builders on site taking houses down.

Got to applaud the bravery too, the new law courts is dead opposite, there is no cover from the very busy Wilton Road and the divisonal police HQ is about 3 minutes walk. I did notice though that they have replaced alot of the fencing around the carparks, looks like someone tried to cut through it.
 
wow surprised the garden fountain has still survived hope they save it :)
