RSNH admin building (Pilkington Mansion)
RSNH admin building (Pilkington Mansion)
This listed building was demolished 14/01/2014. Designed in 1862 by Scottish Architect Frederick Thomas Pilkington (1832 – October 1898)
The hospital was built by the Society for Education of Imbecile Youth in Scotland and the site chosen because of its good rail links.

It was home to thousands of children and eventually adults too during it’s 140 year history. The RSNH closed in 1991 after a shift in attitudes to caring for those with special needs.
