Buildings 58-60: Glasshouses and Potting Sheds

The glasshouses and ancillary buildings are associated both with the Gardener’s Cottage and the ‘Victorian Walled Garden’ and were part of the Prudhoe Hall Estate before its transformation into the Hospital. The glasshouses were enlarged and improved by Colonel Swan in the early 20th century. The glasshouses are not scheduled for demolition.

Originally part of the Prudhoe Hall gardens, this complex became part of the Hospital’s internal economy in terms of food production: with the East Farm, the Prudhoe Colony Hospital was by 1935 self-sufficient in milk and produce as well as being used for work-therapeutic purposes.

The glasshouses are generally rectangular in plan with a short central pavilion wing. The glasshouses behind the potting sheds are divided into four sections and the central projecting conservatory; on the historic ground plans these are labelled ‘Peach House,’ ‘Late Vinery’, ‘Conservatory’, ‘Early Vinery’ and ‘Carnation House.’ The south-western glasshouse has an access door in its south-west gable end to the garden.

The ‘potting sheds’ are a long range of brick-built single-story buildings abutting the north-east gable end of the Gardener’s Cottage. The south-easternmost of these has access directly into the ‘Peach House’ section of the glasshouses; another to the north-east leads to the ‘Carnation House’.
