Ancoats Hospital

Ancoats Hospital is a hospital built in 1903, constructed from red brick with stone dressings and a slate roof. The building has two storeys and an attic, with its entrance facing a courtyard. The front features 11 bays arranged in a 4-3-4 rhythm. It has a stone plinth and ground and first floor casement windows with 4 x 5 panes. The central projecting gabled wing has half-storey high stone walls on the ground floor, with double doors in the centre flanked by 3 x 4 pane casement windows.

Above, the first floor is finished in white stucco and includes a central casement window with three lights, each with 2 x 4 panes, surrounded by a carved oak canopy and a statue of a draped female figure with children. A row of corbels supports another overhang, which features gable windows with three casement lights, each with 2 x 2 panes. At the apex, there is a roundel with raised lettering that reads A.D.1903. The roof has square ridge and purlin plates, topped by an octagonal bell-cote with a fleche.

On either side of the central wing, there are projecting two-storey wings that extend by one bay and end in angled bays on both floors. These wings continue as glazed corridors at ground level and lead to pavilions with diagonal buttresses that include stone seats between them. The pavilions have casement windows with four lights, each consisting of 3 x 3 panes, and dormer lunette windows above on three sides. Angled walls extend from the buttresses and finish in brick piers topped with stone caps and balls. An inscription on the lintel of the central door reads: PAX INTRANTI: SALUS EXEUNTI. The rear facade features a central wing with gable dormers on either side in pairs and lateral gabled staircase wings.
