Description

High Royds, Psychiatric Hospital

Opened on the 8th October 1888, the West Riding Pauper Lunatic Asylum as it was then known, became High Royds in 1963. One of the last remaining psychiatric hospitals of it's kind to be still functioning when it closed in 2003.

A truly magnificent example of Vickers Edwards architecture, it is arguably the finest example of the broad arrow layout. At one time the site included a library, surgery, dispensary, ballroom, butchers, dairies, bakers and even it's own railway. By the 1930s a sweetshop, cobblers, upholsterer and tailor were added making it in effect a self contained village.
