Visited with @Butters & @R0tt3nW00d

 ​

Ive known about this place for a good 6 months or so, yet never got around to doing it. There was always something better somewhere else. So while we had nothing planned we decided to have a look after seeing @Wappy visit. As expected it turned out to be nothing special but it killed an hour or so.​

 ​

Background;

 ​

Manygates Hospital was formerly Wakefield Corporation Maternity Hospital, situated in Blenheim Road, Wakefield. It transferred to Manygates Park, Barnsley Road in 1935. The hospital closed in 1992 and transferred to Pinderfields Hospital for a short period. Maternity services in Wakefield ended in 2000.​

Records survive from 1919 - 1977, these include staff registers (1928-1855) patient registers 1919 - 1971 and administration/finance records (1919-1950). Later records for Manygates Hospital (c.1960s - 2000) were destroyed by the hospital trust.​
