REDHILL ASYLUM ARCH ROAD Workshop at Royal Earlswood Hospital

II

Workshop. Dated 1861. Built as a laundry and boot room and boiler shop. Part of the ethos of the treatment of people with learning disabilities was that the institution tried to be self-supporting and those able to were encouraged to learn a trade. This is the earliest workshop building for people with learning disabilities known in the country.

Jacobean style. Faced in Reigate stone with Bath stone dressings but patched with cement in places. Central three storey four bay feature the central bays projecting with pierced parapet and central clock in curved pediment. Central windows are mullioned and transomed casements. On each side are wings which probably originally segregated male and female residents. The lower floor has five windows. The first floor has nine round-headed windows in a continuous arcade. All window openings are original but the windows are 1950s metal casements. To the rear is the former boiler room of one storey with hipped slate roof. C20 wing to rear not of special interest.
