Naburn Hospital was a mental health facility in Naburn, North Yorkshire, England.
Acres House, a property dating back to 1774, and its associated farmland were acquired in 1899 for the purposes of building an asylum.[1] The facility, which was designed by Alfred Creer using a compact arrow layout, opened as York Borough Asylum in April 1906.[2] After Naburn Lodge Farm was acquired in 1913, further expansion of the hospital became possible.[3] It became the York City Mental Hospital in 1927 and joined the National Health Service as Naburn Hospital in 1948.[4]
After the introduction of Care in the Community in the early 1980s, the hospital went into a period of decline and closed in February 1988.[2] Most of the hospital buildings were subsequently demolished and the site was redeveloped as the York Designer Outlet Centre.[5] However Acres House survives.[2]
