Beekay 5,094 Posted December 28, 2020 Report Share Posted December 28, 2020 Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't it off plains Road, Mapperley. Not sure if it was wells road or ransom Road. Always remember me mum getting riled when we kids were Playing up. She would say, "Yo kids are gonna put me bleddy St.Annes". I think it was a hospital for people with mental problems.

philmayfield 6,089 Posted December 28, 2020 Report Share Posted December 28, 2020 St. Anne’s was on Thorneywood Lane, about halfway down Porchester Rd. and downhill from Mapperley Hospital. I believe it’s called Thorneywood Mount now and is still a psychiatric unit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,094 Posted December 28, 2020 Report Share Posted December 28, 2020 Wasn't too far off then, eh Phil. I did try, but it must be fifty years or so, since I were up that area. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mary1947 2,071 Posted December 29, 2020 Report Share Posted December 29, 2020 While growing up (yes I Did) i can remember three hospitals for the mentaly ill patients, 1 / Was the Coppice Hospital which was Ransom Rd Mappley now Ransom Rd was renamed Coppice and goes from the bottom of St Ann's Well Rd up to Woodbrough Rd. I can remember going to Coppice reck and across the road from the reck, was the former gardeners lodge which before the gardeners lodge it u3/sed to be the hospital lodge also known as Hine Lodge. The hospital was remened Hlne Hall. 2/ Also I can remember what we called Mapperley Hospital this was top of Gorden rd and enterance came on to Porchester Rd. From memories the fisrt one was for really bad paients and the second one was for the no so bad ones. 3/ not sure if there was a 3rd just seem to think there was. A member brought up the subject of Childrens homes, The one that I can recall was called Gorden Boys home on Crammer St it says that it was for destitute boys of all ages. Founder in 1958 in Moved to Alexandra Park, the old building is now student accmodation. Gorden Homes first set up 1885 Shakespesr St. I think that I have all the info right if not please feel free to tell me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,435 Posted December 29, 2020 Report Share Posted December 29, 2020 I think this has been mentioned before, but there's a website with a massive amount of information about many of the Nottingham hospitals. http://www.nottinghamhospitalshistory.co.uk/index.html 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
