Buildings 47-49: Lime, Beech, and Willow

These buildings are residential villas for female patients. The three buildings are similar in ground plan and layout. They are arranged in the curved alignment characteristic of the colony buildings of the hospital and date to the early phase of hospital expansion in 1922 and follow the plans established by J.G. Burrell and J. H. Morton & Son of South Shields. Building 48, Beech, differs slightly in ground plan and was subject to an earlier Assessment of Significance by Simpson & Brown (Appendix 2, Conservation Plan); Building 47, Lime, was selected for internal recording as a representative sample of this cluster.

All are buildings in the Domestic Revival style, two storied, H-shaped in plan with central range and two pavilion wings projecting to front and rear; a single story annexe runs across the western (rear) elevations to enclose the space between the arms of the H as an internal courtyard. The roof of this annexe acts as a first floor veranda. The buildings have hipped (Beech, pitched) roofs clad in Westmorland slate, and are composed of concrete or reconstituted stone rendered to look like stone blocks laid in ashlar courses. The east (front) elevations have a first-floor balcony with iron balustrades decorated with Renaissance-style panels. The front windows and door overlight are coped. Windows have simple concrete lintels and sills and are sashed.

Building 47 was accessed through the side door in the northern pavilion wing. This houses the dining area and kitchen, which provides access to the central courtyard (inaccessible during the time of the building recording). The day room fills the width of the central range and extends to the building frontage and the main doors. A door in the south-west wall leads to an internal corridor in the southern pavilion wing and provides access to the lounge, sitting room, quiet room, bathrooms and lavatories and the central courtyard. The first floor contains bedrooms, a nurses’ station and bathrooms on the west (back) side. The first floor pavilion wings each contain a single large dormitory room, each with access to the rear veranda.
