Gransha Hospital was a health facility in Clooney Road, Derry, Northern Ireland. The site is managed by Western Health and Social Care Trust.
The facility was commissioned to replace the aging Londonderry County Asylum.[1] It was designed by Matthew Alexander Robinson in the Victorian style and built between 1902 and 1905.[2]
After joining the National Health Service in 1948,[3] the facility evolved to become the Stradreagh Hospital.[4] Two gate lodges were added in the 1960s.[5] Following the introduction of Care in the Community in the early 1980s the hospital went into a period of decline and almost all buildings in the old hospital were closed by December 2011.[6]
The main building of the old hospital was occupied by Oakgrove Integrated College on a temporary basis from 1992[7] until the college moved into modern purpose-built accommodation in 2004.[8] It was subsequently left to decay and was badly damaged in a serious fire in March 2016.[9]
The following modern facilities have been established at Gransha Park, the site of the old hospital:
