SJ9223 : St. George's, Stafford

taken 10 years ago, near to Stafford, Staffordshire, England

St. George's, Stafford
St. George's, Stafford
This is a new housing estate built by Bovis Homes, in the area where St. George's mental hospital used to be. St. George's Parkway turns off Queensway (the A34).

I thought St. George's closed down many years ago, and I have found a website claiming that parts of the Grade II listed building have been vandalised and the whole site left to rot.

Then I found another site with glowing reviews from patients who were recently treated there in 2014! So now I am confused. Perhaps someone reading this with local knowledge can explain what has happened.
