Walton Hospital (Original Building Only)

Walton Hospital, originally built as a workhouse in 1868, is a three-storey brick building with stone dressings and a slate roof. It features 56 bays, including a three-bay projecting center, 23 bays to the left, and 22 bays to the right, along with four end pavilions that each have four bays and pediments. The building has a first-floor sill band and a top cornice with modillions. The pavilions are accented with rusticated quoins. The windows are mostly sashed with glazing bars, featuring cut-brick flat arches with stone keys, while those on the second floor are segmental-headed.

The central section, made of stone with channelled rustication, forms the base of the tower and includes a two-storey canted bay window topped with a central pediment. The flanking bays have first-floor windows with round tympana and banded arches. The entrances are located in porches with round-headed openings, consoled pediments, and parapets. The tower has three tall recesses on each side, with the lower parts louvred, and is adorned with a four-face clock set in stone surrounds, flanked by colonnettes and banded pointed arches. The top features a frieze with roundels, a cornice, and a pierced parapet. The pavilion roof is swept, with lucarnes and iron cresting. The flanking ranges originally had four entrances, which have been converted into windows, with angle pilasters, friezes, and cornices; two of these have been replaced by connecting corridors. There are also six square louvres with ogival caps, and the building has seen later extensions.
