History

The facility has its origins in the Ecclesall Bierlow Union Workhouse which was designed by William Flockton and opened in 1844.[2] The dining hall and nurses' home were damaged by enemy bombing in December 1940 during the Second World War.[2] It became Nether Edge Hospital in 1929 and joined the National Health Service in 1948.[2] The main hospital closed in 1990 and most of the site was acquired by Gleeson Homes in 1997 and subsequently developed for residential use.[3] Some of the newer buildings, located off Osborne Road, were retained by the NHS and amalgamated to form the Michael Carlisle Centre which was officially opened as a mental health facility by the Duchess of Gloucester in October 1999.[4]
