Bootham Park Hospital, Grade I listed hospital building in York, England
The former psychiatric hospital consists of a symmetrical Georgian structure with a central block featuring large sash windows and ornate stone detailing.
The County Lunatic Asylum opened in 1777, designed by architect John Carr following the initiative of Archbishop Robert Hay Drummond and twenty-four Yorkshire gentlemen.
The establishment of Bootham Park Hospital in the 18th century marked a shift in mental health treatment approaches in northern England.
The building ceased operations as a hospital in 2015 when the Care Quality Commission determined the facility unsuitable for modern healthcare requirements.
The transfer of patients during the 2015 closure occurred within five days, leading to subsequent investigations about the management of this rapid transition.
