De la Pole Hospital (also known as De la Pole Psychiatric Hospital) was a mental health facility in Willerby, East Riding of Yorkshire, England.

History

The hospital was located on a site previously occupied by De la Pole Farm.^[1] It was designed by Frederick Stead Brodrick and Richard George Smith in the Victorian Gothic style, using a courtyard plan and opened as Kingston upon Hull Borough Asylum in December 1883.^[1] It became the Willerby Mental Hospital in the 1920s before joining the National Health Service as De la Pole Hospital in 1948.^[1]

After the introduction of Care in the Community in the early 1980s, the hospital went into a period of decline and eventually closed in July 1998.^[1] The main buildings have been demolished and that part of the site was redeveloped for business unit use.^[1] The chapel survives as a Grade II listed building and is now used as part of a crematorium.^[2]
