Description

The Handel Cossham Memorial Hospital is a hospital built between 1905 and 1907 by F Bligh Bond. It features squared red Pennant rubble with limestone dressings, Bath stone ashlar, and a green slate roof with chimneys positioned in front of the ridge. The building has an L-shaped plan and is designed in the Queen Anne style with influences from Edwardian Baroque. It is two stories tall with an attic and has a twelve-window range.

The main block includes a central entrance bay that is pedimented, with a ground floor that has banded rustication. This leads to a Gibbs surround framing a round-headed door that features a shouldered architrave and a pronounced, grotesque key. Above the door is an open, scrolled pediment that contains a keyed oculus adorned with floral carving. The first-floor round-headed window is framed with an architrave and a Gibbs surround, and it has a bayed balustrade. A modillioned pediment with a cartouche and relief ribbons inscribed "HANDEL COSSHAM MEMORIAL HOSPITAL 1905" is also present. The ground and first-floor windows have shouldered architraves and keys, with the first-floor windows being segmental-arched and featuring panelled aprons beneath.

The middle of the wings has canted bays with four-light windows and parapets. The building is topped with a deep modillion cornice, sprocketed eaves, and dormers with two and three lights, which also have side windows and modillion pediments. At the right end of the building is a square tower and a flat-roofed block. Between the two wings is an octagonal tower that includes a balcony with iron railings, clocks on alternate faces, and is crowned by an octagonal dome surrounded by a balustrade with urns, topped with a cupola on columns. The left wing features a mansard roof, with a three-story block located behind it. The interior of the hospital was remodelled in the 20th century.
