Where? Stafford. Photos 29. Comments 19. Posted 15 January 2008.
Stafford County Asylum opened in 1818 to accomodate 120 patients. Over the years it expanded and housed around 1000 patients. During the 1950s, it was renamed St George's Hospital. Like so many other asylums, it closed in the mid-1990s. There are plans to convert the Grade II listed buildings into "100 distinctive dwellings", and work should be starting in 2008.
