Dingleton Hospital
Dingleton Hospital was a mental health facility in Melrose, Scotland. The former boiler house is a Category B listed building.[1]
History
The hospital, which was designed by Brown & Wardrop, opened as the Roxburgh, Berwick and Selkirk District Asylum in May 1872.[2][3] A new female hospital block was completed in 1898 and two new wings, designed by Sydney Mitchell and Wilson, were completed in 1906.[2] The facility joined the National Health Service as Dingleton Hospital in 1948.[3] A monolithic concrete boiler house, designed by Peter Womersley, which still dominates the local skyline, was completed in 1977.[1]
After the introduction of Care in the Community in the early 1980s, the hospital went into a period of decline and closed in 2001.[2] The main building has since been converted for residential use as "Dingleton Apartments" within a wider housing development across the former hospital site known as "Trimontium Heights".[4]
