History
The hospital, which was designed by Francis Johnston and William Murphy, opened as the Armagh Asylum in 1825.[1] It expanded with the opening of the Hill Building in 1898.[2] Following the introduction of Care in the Community in the early 1980s the hospital went into a period of decline and various facilities including inpatient dementia care and inpatient addiction services have been progressively withdrawn.[3]
gollark: Er. Hmm. Rincewind?
gollark: Imagine: someone tells you "yes I really like [CHARACTER] or [EVENT]". If you have no idea what book they're from or any idea about it, you may have to embarrass yourself and say you don't know! But with a way to search all books ever (okay, you can't do that with just public domain ones however bees) you can have vague surface level knowledge of something on demand!
gollark: I'm aware of that, but they don't have a convenient search thing.
gollark: Idea: download all public domain books and index them for search such that people can conveniently look up things on demand and appear to have read and know about them, for pretension purposes
gollark: I mean, Poland is... more "developed" than a lot of other countries? Which isn't a high bar.
