Abstract: |
Trent and Peak Archaeology was commissioned by Nottinghamshire County Council's Highways Department to undertake a Level 1 building record of an unlisted former hospital building, 30 Watson Road, Nottinghamshire (OS Grid Ref. SK 588622 78893) prior to its proposed demolition (Planning Application Nos 1/13/01372/CDM) as part of a scheme to build a new 8-bay bus station. 30 Watson Road is located close to the centre of Worksop, within the historic core of the town. Cartographic evidence indicates that it was built between 1920 and 1960. The architectural style of the building suggests that it was constructed in the inter-war period, most likely in the 1930s. It has undergone minor alterations since its construction including a number of the doorways being narrowed, the addition of a parapet and some internal divisions when it was converted into offices. It was a part of the Victoria Hospital which was opened in 1900 on the east side of Watson Road. The building and the contemporary block to the south effectively form a single unit comprising two buildings set around a courtyard with a garden to the rear which may have been a sanatorium for tuberculosis sufferers. |
