Abstract:		 Archaeology South-East carried out a historic buildings record of former hospital buildings at Mascalls Park prior to demolition/conversion as part of the redevelopment of the site for housing. The hospital buildings were built in the 1930s as the assessment unit for Warley Hospital, a large psychiatric hospital established in the 1850s as the Essex County Lunatics Asylum. They include the main admissions unit with male and female wards either side linked by covered passageways, a convalescence building, lodge house and water tower, all built on a self-contained site separate to the main hospital. The ward buildings were built of red brick in a domestic neo-Georgian style and were south-facing with dormitory and dayroom blocks between small wards and individual patient rooms along the terrace. The lodge, which may predate the others, has a domestic neo-Gothic style of architecture and the water tower has Art Deco influences. All of the 1930s structures remain and were still in use in the last phase of the hospital in 2011. As a consequence they have been adapted and modernised internally but retain much of their external character and group value. All were recorded to English Heritage level 3 standard. None of the modern hospital structures also present on the site were formally recorded.
