History

St Catherine's Hall was built for George Banks, a local industrialist and former Lord Mayor of Leeds, in 1839.[1][2][3] After the last member of the Banks family died, the house was auctioned and acquired by the Ministry of Health for use as a psychiatric facility becoming known as St Catherine's Institution in 1928.[4]

After joining the National Health Service in 1948, the facility became St Catherine's Hospital in 1959.[5] The hospital continued to provide mental health and learning disability services into 2010.[6] It is located close to the Tickhill Road Hospital which is separate and provides a broader range of services.[7]

In 2013 the hospital was renamed to St Catherine's House and was converted for use for a range of commercial purposes including office let, conference facilities and functions for the public. The building was brought under the management of Flourish Enterprises.[8]
