History

The hospital, which was designed by Robert Griffiths in the Italianate style using a corridor-pavilion layout, opened as the Second Cheshire County Asylum in May 1871.[2] A female epileptic block was completed in 1891 and a male epileptic block was completed in 1903.[2] It became Cheshire County Mental Hospital in 1920 and joined the National Health Service as Parkside Hospital in 1948.[3]

After the introduction of Care in the Community in the early 1980s, the hospital went into a period of decline and closed in January 1997.[2] The main administration block was subsequently converted into apartments.[2]

gollark: Basically, my WHY JIT compiler sticks your actual code into a skeleton with the busy loop, then embeds that into a shell script which writes a C compiler (embedded at the end of the script using a bizarre quirk of shell scripts where you can just stick anything in after an exit and it won't care) to a temporary file, writes the skeletoned code into another one from a heredoc, executes the C compiler temporary file with the code temporary file as input (it outputs to another temporary file), executes the result, and exits with the return code.
