History
The facility had its origins in the Braintree Union Workhouse which was designed by William Nash and opened in 1838.[1] New infirmary wings were added on either side of the main building in 1910.[1] It became the Braintree Public Assistance Institution in 1930 and joined the National Health Service as St Michael's Hospital in 1948.[2] After services transferred to the William Julien Courtauld Hospital, St Michael's Hospital closed in November 2001.[3] The main building was converted into luxury apartments in 2008.[1]
