Title: Hampshire County Council, Sanatorium, Chandlers Ford [Go to resource]
Description: Copy photograph of a postcard. This was originally the Hursley Union Workhouse, built in 1900 on a site between Cuckoo Bushes and Ram Alley. It replaced the old workhouse at Hursley (this was the smallest Union in England). In 1921, owing to decreased demand for Poor Law accommodation, it was leased to Hampshire County Council as a sanatorium for tuberculosis sufferers. It had accommodation for forty patients. The building survived until 2002 as Leigh House, a psychiatric unit for adolescents. It is now demolished. Reference: Cox, Gordon. 2003. Leigh House.
