History
The hospital, which was designed by Thomas Worthington and John Augustus Cory using a Corridor Plan layout, opened as the Cumberland and Westmorland Lunatic Asylum in January 1862.[1] It joined the National Health Service as Garlands Hospital in 1948.[1] Concerns were raised in Parliament about the amount of overcrowding in the hospital in 1955.[2]
After the introduction of Care in the Community in the early 1980s, the hospital went into a period of decline and closed in March 1999.[1] The administration block was subsequently converted into apartments.[1]

gollark: Due to environment weirdness.
gollark: Well, its bundling system conflicts with the one potatOS *itself* uses.
gollark: I'm personally trying to debug issues with the potatOS ECC library, which is problematic because the tools to do debugging are cryptographically signed... using the ECC library... for privileged execution mode.
