Grey Towers


Grey HouseGrey Towers is a large country house built 1865-1867 for William Hopkins, ironmaster and Mayor of Middlesbrough. It is faced with whinstone, which is unusual compared to the traditional sandstone of the local area. From 1895 Grey Towers was the home of Sir Arthur Dorman, co-founder of Dorman Long & Co, until his death in 1931. In 1932 alderman Sir Thomas Gibson Poole bought the house and presented it to Middlesbrough Council as a tuberculosis sanatorium. It became known as Poole Sanatorium, and later as Poole Hospital. It closed as a hospital in 1988, and at that time became a Grade II* listed building on the National Heritage List for England.
