Building 28: Riding

The Riding building lies in the Central Hospital Area and is a specialised hospital building, a sick ward, belonging to the late 1950s phase of expansion (built 1958). It is roughly H-shaped in with a projecting central wing. It is a flat-roofed, single storey building with cavity walls of reddish brick outer skin, laid in stretcher courses with concrete mortar. Windows were shuttered at the time of building recording with light-permeable metal sheeting; they have simple brick surrounds with projecting brick sills and brick lintel courses laid perpendicular to the regular wall coursing. The south-east (rear) elevation is provided with a covered veranda spanning the width of the central section with two angled brick and concrete staircases leading down to the rear garden area, which is furnished with a climbing frame and see-saw.

The building has a central E-shaped internal corridor which provides access to rooms on either side; throughout the building this corridor is decorated with a wallpaper dado strip of cartoon figures. The Riding functioned as a sick hospital for mothers and children, and these rooms are mainly ward rooms, utility and toilet blocks, and day rooms. The larger rooms – day rooms and larger ward rooms – are concentrated at the far north-east and south-west extremities of the building and in the rear projecting wings of the south-east elevation. Some minor alterations to the original ground plans have been made.
