Winterton Hospital was a psychiatric hospital in County Durham, England, and was one of the largest in Europe. ==History== A site for the Durham County Asylum was purchased in 1855 on land between the villages of Fishburn and Sedgefield. The hospital was designed by the architect John Howison, the surveyor for the county of Durham, as a three story corridor plan asylum built in the Elizabethan style with 300 beds for inmates, along with a chapel and superintendent's quarters. Between 1875 and 1880, a major extension of the hospital was undertaken by the architect William Crozier Jr. The new extension was based around the pavilion style creating space for an extra 400 inmates as well as adding a new chapel, water tower, stables and cottages. Further major additions were made in the 1930s, providing new admission and administration blocks. The hospital was very much self-sufficient, having its own farm and water supply. Town gas was supplied from the nearby Fishburn coke ovens. The hospital also had its own fire service, social club, cricket team and breed of pig. 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「Winterton Hospital」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
