Coney Hill Hospital (also known as Second Gloucestershire County Asylum) was a mental health facility in Gloucester, England.
The hospital site formed part of the Barnwood Mill Estate.[1] It was designed by John Giles & Gough and opened as the Second Gloucestershire County Asylum in 1883.[1] It was the first asylum to be built in true echelon plan.[2] Outer sections to the echelon were planned but never implemented.[1] After the First World War it became the Gloucestershire County Mental Hospital and it joined the National Health Service as Coney Hill Hospital in 1948.[3]
After the introduction of Care in the Community in the early 1980s, the hospital went into a period of decline and closed on 31 December 1994.[1] In 1999, the hospital was largely destroyed by fire.[4] The buildings, with the exception of the administration block, were demolished and the hospital site now forms part of the Abbeymead residential area.[5] The administration block was converted into apartments in 2007.[6]
