Visited with a few of the Leicester lot recently. I've wandered around the outside of the site many times back in the days of the lights and tv being on, and the scream mask in the window. I was always on the way back from somewhere and it was always the wrong time of day, so it was great to finally get in there this time!

In 1889 the foundation stone for a new hospital was layed by Mrs Hollins of Pleasley Vale. This new hospital was opened in 1890, and known as The Mansfield General Hospital. The cost of this new hospital was £2,000, and it provided five beds. The opening ceremony was conducted on 27th October 1890 by the Duke of Portland. The need for an extension of these facilities was recognised fairly soon and on the 28th June 1897 the President of the Hospital Board, Mr F. W. Webb. The new wing was to be named Newstead Ward, and provided a further ten beds. By 1928 the number of beds available had grown to 108. In 1950 another extension was built to help deal with demand, this increased the bed number by a further 60. The hospital closed in September 1992, with services being transferred to Kings Mill Hospital.
