The Hall Of Memory
On the 12th June 1923, The Prince of Wales laid the foundation stone. He said that the building would stand to "symbolise to generations to come that Birmingham stood for, during a period of great national crisis - work of every kind unflinchingly given, compassion to the sick and wounded, courage and resource in adversity, and, above all, self-sacrifice in the face of death."
The Hall of Memory was opened by H.R.H. Prince Arthur of Connaught on 4th July 1925. Built of Portland Stone, and constructed almost entirely by Birmingham craftsmen, it cost £60,000 raised solely through public donations.
Originally named the Aston Union workhouse, although it has
been renamed over the years to Erdington House 1912 following
the city boundary changes, Highcroft Hall Hospital (1942)
and was more commonly referred to in later years as just
Highcroft Hospital.
Over the years, the hospital has generally provided care for
the mentally ill. In 1994, the hospital became part of the
Northern Birmingham Mental Health NHS Trust. During the
following two years, the facilities were gradually rehoused
in more modern units nearby and in 1996, the building was
declared closed.
The site was derelict for the subsequent eight years,
before being refurbished by property developers in 2004-2006.
