Opened in 1883, the buildings on this postcard are a familiar site from the M6. The large imposing buildings are Grade II listed and although empty for now will eventually be redeveloped for housing.I have been reading Alan Bennett's autobiographical book "Untold Stories." His mum was sent to one of the outbuildings suffering from depression - for assessment. At first the family was glad it was an annex and appeared to be on a smaller scale, but soon had misgivings and had her transferred elsewhere.
