| AdminHistory | Broadgate Hospital, also known as East Riding of Yorkshire County Asylum, Walkington Asylum and the East Riding Mental Hospital, was built in 1871 on the grounds of Broadgate Farm, Walkington. It was designed by Charles Henry Howell who was also architect at the Brookwood, Moulsford and Cane Hill asylums. The Broadgate asylum was built when it became necessary to separate from the agreement with North Riding with whom the Clifton Asylum was shared. In 1989 the hospital was closed and amalgamated with De la Pole Hospital. The buildings were demolished and housing built on the site. |
