Abstract: |
In response to a planning application for the conversion of the Water Tower and the demolition and subsequent redevelopment of the ancillary buildings at Shenley Water Tower, Shenley, Hertfordshire, the Heritage Network was commissioned by the developer to record the buildings. The buildings were initially constructed in the 1930's as part of the first stage of the construction of a psychiatric hospital at Shenley. The study area housed the boilers, water tanks, electricity substation, bakery, smithy and fuel stores, as well as a fire engine, providing the hospital with both essential and support services. The complex has retained much of its architectural integrity and evidence for the introduction of new equipment and changes in function of several of the buildings was recorded. This evidence is considered to be representative of social, economic and technological developments in health provision during the latter half of the 20th century., |
