The Manor Hospital, formerly The Manor Asylum and The Manor Cerified Institution was a mental handicap and psychiatric hospital near Epsom, Surrey, United Kingdom ==Construction and development== The first of the Epsom Cluster to open on the Horton Manor estate, the Manor Hospital was developed around the existing Horton Manor House in 1896-99 to the design of William C. Clifford-Smith, Architect to the London County Council〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=London County Asylum: The Manor )〕 The redbrick manor house was used for the administration offices, with similarly styled buildings built for staff quarters. The storerooms, kitchens and laundry were also built from red brick, with curved gables and slate roofs. Porter's lodges were built at the entrances on Horton Lane and Christchurch Road.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Lost Hospitals of London: The Manor )〕 Initially, 700 harmless chronic female patients lived in single-storey pavilions of wood and corrugated iron radiating from the main corridor. Further pavilions were built to the north of the manor house, one of which served as a chapel. An isolation hospital was built in the southwest part of the site and an existing farm bordering Horton Lane provided work for the patients and helped the asylum to maintain self-sufficiency.〔 In 1901 accommodation was added to the site for 100 male patients who were to provide labour for the Horton Estate's Central Pumping and Power Station. By 1909 ten permanent brick buildings had been added.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Manor Hospital」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
