History
The hospital, which was designed by Henry Duesbury in the Jacobean style using a corridor layout, opened in August 1851.[2] The chapel was completed in 1869 and additional wards were created in 1895 and in 1905.[2] It became Derbyshire County Mental Hospital in 1918 and joined the National Health Service as Pastures Hospital in 1948.[3]
After the introduction of Care in the Community in the early 1980s, the hospital went into a period of decline and closed in 1994.[2] The main administration block was subsequently converted into apartments as Duesbury Court.[2]
