Abstract:		 The Prudhoe Historic Characterisation study is the product of joint working between English Heritage and English Partnerships undertaken from November 2007 – May 2008. The EP site comprises approximately 96 hectares, but does not include the whole of the former hospital site. It falls into two unequal parts – open farmland and woodland (‘South Park’) to the south and most of the hospital itself to the north. These two areas are separated by the deep ravine of the Stanley Burn, flowing north-eastwards into the Tyne. The historical development of the site and its buildings, ranging from Prudhoe Hall of 1878-9 to hospital buildings of the 1920s-1980s, is summarised in Section 2.3 The EP site contains a wide range of buildings, of both single and two- or threestorey height, with a total footprint of approximately 37,424 square metres. The siting of most of the buildings exploited the topography of the site, which slopes SE towards Stanley Burn. There is significant though uneven patterning in the distribution of the buildings, and most were built within extensive areas of terracing and landscaping. The overall development is low density with large areas of open green space designed to provide areas for recreation and amenity. The buildings are set in a mature landscape setting with many high quality trees and in particular a striking avenue of trees along the main access route from the NE.
