Had another quick look around this lovely building while out and about. It's an incredible place and if you live in Leeds or the surrounding area, you should'nt miss out. So much has collapsed since my last visit it's almost shocking, this is a listed building too.

A small bit of history for you on this place. It clsed in 1991

The original Chapel Allerton Hospital was opened in May 1927 by HRH Princess Mary, and was located in the grounds of the stately mansion of Gledhow Grove, off Harehills Lane, with the house itself also being used as part of the site.

The old hospital, after standing empty for some time, has now largely been demolished, and new housing is being built on the site. The mansion, a listed building with many original 19th century features, survives.


The mansion house today
