Arched Window

Arched Window

A window on the ground floor of St. George’s Asylum, now derelict, in Stafford.

Designed by architect Joseph Potter the Staffordshire County Asylum was opened in 1818 and housed in excess of 1,000 patients. The elegant red brick façade expands over 350 metres in length overlooking the town of Stafford from an elevated vantage point on a hill.
During the 1950’s the Asylum was renamed St George’s Hospital. Suicide cages were erected in the stairwells after a female patient threw herself off from the fourth floor and landed nearby reception.
