Abstract:		 A programme of Historic building recording to English Heritage Level 2-3 was undertaken at Kingsway Hospital, Derby. The hospital was founded as a lunatic asylum and built 1886-8. Further work was carried out in 1896-7 and 1902. More works were carried out from 1909 to 1938. Post-war changes were also evident. The exterior ground floor plans of three standing buildings were measured and drawn up (the Porters Lodge, Lythwood and the Farmhouse) A fourth, Braemar, was photographed externally but permission had not been obtained for a measured survey. A main elevation of the Porter's Lodge and the Farmhouse was also drawn up and records made to allow further elevation drawings to be prepared if needed. Interior access was not available for safety reasons, and nearly all the windows were boarded up preventing even a visual inspecation of the interiors from outside, with very limited exceptions. A photographic record of the exterior of the standing buildings was carried out. Analysis of the fabric suggested that the buildings had mostly undergone very little exterior alteration since their completion. The exception was the Farm, which fabric analysis and map evidence suggested had undergone significant alterations. The main hospital had already been demolished before the requirement for a record was understood and the attempt has been made to provide a Level 2 record from existing documents, photographs and reports. A complex history of alterations and additions since 1886 and particulaly after 1948, was recorded.
