Buildings 24-26: Tyne, Tees, and Wear

These three buildings are part of the Central Hospital Area and were designed as residential villas for male patients. The Tyne, Tees and Wear buildings are identical in original plan and in construction materials, built in 1923: the first phase of hospital expansion. They are two-storey H-plan buildings, in Domestic Revival style with a central three-bay block and gable end pavilion blocks brought forward to the front and rear. The back elevations have single-storey, flat-roofed annexes perpendicular to the projecting gable pavilion wings, enclosing the space between the pavilion wings to form an inner rectangular courtyard. The roofs of these annexes are used as rear verandas and have simple iron balustrades. The walls are composed of outer skins of reconstituted stone or concrete dressed to appear as sandstone ashlar blocks with inner red-brick skins bonded in concrete. The hipped roofs are clad in Westmoreland slate. The first floor central block front elevations have balconies with iron railings. Windows are sashed with simple surrounds and simple projecting sills.

Building 24, Tyne, was chosen for internal recording as representative of this group of buildings. A small modern annexe addition was visible built against the east wing, a single-storey flat tarpapered roof structure. The east wing originally housed the dining room and kitchen. The dayroom was located in the centre of the block, although substantially altered. The west wing of the building had also been subdivided, and contained the former ‘lounge’ and ‘lockers’ rooms; the south end of the internal corridor was furnished with a tile mosaic reading ‘KARL.’ The east end of this wing was not accessible, nor was the small internal courtyard. The first floor had also been altered in its original ground plan; dormitory rooms had been subdivided but the majority of the area had been used as bedrooms.

The ground plan is indicative of the institutional concerns of the hospital, particularly evident in the intervisibility of public areas – the dining and day rooms – granted by the internal viewing windows. Oversight is also provided for on the first floor, in the observation hatches in the internal walls of the bedrooms and dormitory rooms. Modern concerns with patient privacy and autonomy may be evident in the subdivision of large dormitory rooms into smaller bedrooms on the first floor, and the emplacement of doors in place of the curtain-rail bays.
