This site became Highcroft Hall. A mental institution. Most of what is seen in the middle of the photo has become some some entry level homes/flats but the bigger building in the cetre with the tower had largely been left alone stylewise and has some exclusive apartments. Ironicallay the cottages down and to the right (now called The Gardens) are still there too but with some modern buildings on the periphery. Fascinating!

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.
