Building 44: Patients' Shopping Centre

Building 44 was built in 1962 and sits in the Central Hospital Area. This building housed the clothes-making and selling facilities of the hospital: patient labour was used to manufacture clothes and uniforms in the building, which also served as shopping and hairdressing facilities for patients and staff. It is a single-story building with a flat roof of reinforced concrete, composed of cavity walls skinned in orange brick laid in stretcher courses. Corners of the building tend to be buttressed. The building faces the recreation and dining halls. The building is tripartite in plan, with a central square block and two angled wings. The external areas of the building were considerably overgrown at the time of building recording.

The central block and the west side of the south angled wing were recorded; the north wing, containing the shop, and the south wing, containing the hairdressers were not accessible. The central wing consists of a U-shape of rooms around a small rectangular courtyard off-set towards the west side of the central block. The north-west side of the central block is a single large room with five windows in its north elevation and a window in its south wall to the courtyard; it is annotated ‘Tailors’ on the historic ground plans and provides access to a cloakroom/lavatory to the west; the ‘steam press’ room to the south, and the ‘male shop’ to the east.

The southern side of the central block contains a large ‘seamstress’ room, giving access to the steam press room, and the female shop; the female shop is approximately double the area of the male shop opposite. Both shop rooms have large display windows along their frontages with wood-finished platforms for the arranging displays.
