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 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.
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. 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.
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. www.russellrooftiles.co.uk

The Lothian tiles form part of Russell Roof Tiles’ Natural Range - an
expanding selection of thinner leading edge interlocking concrete tiles.
When laid, the tile gives the appearance of a small format tile with the
commercial benefit of a larger format tile.
