Workshop at Royal
26/273 Earlswood Hospital
II
Workshop. Dated 1861. Built as a laundry and boot room and boiler shop.
Part of the ethos of the treatment of the mentally handicapped was that the
institution tried to be self-supporting and the able bodied were encouraged
to learn a trade. This is the earliest workshop building for mentally
handicapped people known in the country. Jacobean style. Faced in Reigate
stone with Bath stone dressings but patched with cement in places. Central 3
storey 4 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 5 windows. The 1st floor has 9
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 1 storey with hipped slate roof. C20 wing to rear not
of special interest.
