Abstract: |
As part of the proposed redevelopment of the former Peterborough Hospital the building known as St John's Infirmary is to be demolished. As this was the infirmary to the former workhouse, and therefore the earliest medical building on the site, a Level 2 building record was recommended prior to demolition. St John's Hospital is the earliest purpose-built medical building on the former Peterborough District Hospital site. It was constructed in 1923 as the infirmary for the Peterborough Union workhouse, which was subsequently acquired by the Peterborough Health Authority as part of the District Hospital site. The hospital building, which is scheduled for demolition, has undergone a number of phases of alteration and reconstruction, particularly since the 1970s. However, the core of the present building and its southern, eastern and part of the northern elevation have survived since 1923. The present project has demonstrated that although the basic original layout of the interior has survived within the southern block, few original features remained. |
