St. Nicholas Hospital


St. Nicholas Hospital is located on Jubilee Road in the Coxlodge area of Gosforth. This psychiatric hospital was built 1865-1869, designed by WL Moffatt of Edinburgh for the County Borough of Newcastle. It was originally named Newcastle upon Tyne Borough Lunatic Asylum. The hospital was extend in 1887, with the completion of the East and West Pavilions. During the First World War patients were evacuated and the hospital became Northumberland No.1 War Hospital for wounded soldiers. In 1921 it returned to being used as an asylum and in 1948 the National Health Service took over the hospital and changed the name to St Nicholas Hospital. The building is Grade II listed on the National Heritage List for England.
