Description
The Old Block at Cookridge Hospital is a hospital building constructed in 1868 by architect Norman Shaw, with an additional wing added in 1893. The structure features a plinth of red brick on the ground floor, while the upper floor is tile-hung, topped with a slate roof. It stands two to three storeys tall and consists of 15 bays, designed in a Vernacular Revival style.
The main block is positioned to the left of the centre, with wings set back on either side and a raised corridor link connecting it to later hospital buildings. The main block includes a canted bay with a stone roof and two large wooden oriel windows on the top floor, supported by deep brackets and featuring tile-hung gables. The returns of the main block have wide gables and are adorned with mullion and transom windows.
The wings contain two canted bay windows, with an alternating pattern of mullion and transom windows, and a two-light gabled bay that has a stone chimney situated between two windows. Additionally, there are tall dormer windows through the eaves, featuring tile-hung bracketed gables. On the far right, there is a gabled wing styled similarly, which has a stone plaque above the ground-floor windows inscribed with 'EDWARD JACKSON/ MEMORIAL WING 1893'. The interior has not been inspected.
