Abandoned hospital given luxurious lease of life
A former 19th century hospital in Stafford has been restored to become a collection of luxurious apartments .
Previously “ St George ’ s County Asylum ”, the grade II listed building on Cooperation Street opened in 1818 and housed 1,000 patients before finally closing in 1995 . Following 20 years of neglect , the building was in disrepair with crumbling floors and walls , until work started in 2015 .
The building has now been transformed by Shropshire Homes , into a collection of one , two and three-bedroom apartments and renamed St George ’ s Mansions .
The house builder was keen to preserve the history of the hospital and maintain the Georgian architecture . To ensure this , they worked closely with leading roof tile manufacturer Russell Roof Tiles , who has extensive experience in restoration projects and pitched roofing .
The manufacturer supplied 20,000 of its Lothian tiles in Slate Grey to re-roof the building . The modern material replicated the look of the building ’ s original natural slate tiles , whilst providing the sustainable benefits of concrete .
with the commercial benefit of a larger format tile . The technical team at Russell Roof Tiles has spent many years creating an authentic collection of roof tiles which replicate original tiles , but with all the properties that you would expect from modern materials .
Russell Roof Tiles is a leading independent roof tile manufacturer providing products for leading UK house builders and high-profile social housing and commercial projects , where sustainability and eco-credentials are the utmost priority .
