Report - Bramble House Kingsway Asylum - Apr 19

[bmichelle]

Feel like this has been done to death by locals but not many reports on here about it!
This report is photo heavy I know but I couldn’t choose between them all.

Stealing @_motionlessinmike history:

Originally built in 1931 for the purpose of a nurses home, Bramble House was a late addition to the Derby Borough Mental Hospital complex (Kingsway Hospital) and one of only 3 remaining buildings from the site still standing. The others being the old hospital farm house and outbuildings and also Braemar which was a staff residence.

Bramble House later became the offices for the NHS Derbyshire Healthcare Foundation Trust. Unsure how long they operated here after demolition of the main hospital. The building and land sold in 2018 and I've read Next are looking at building a giant new store here.
