Rubery Hill Hospital was a mental health facility in Birmingham, England. The chapel, which still survives, is a Grade II listed building.
The hospital, which was designed by William Martin and John Henry Chamberlain using a Standard Pavilion layout, opened as the Second Birmingham City Asylum in January 1882.[1] [2] Additional ward pavilions were completed in 1897.[1] It became the 1st Birmingham War Hospital during the First World War and then became Rubery Hill Mental Hospital in 1919.[1] During the Second World War it remained a civilian establishment.[1] It joined the National Health Service as Rubery Hill Hospital in 1948.[1]
After the introduction of Care in the Community in the early 1980s, the hospital went into a period of decline and closed in 1993.[1] Most of the buildings were subsequently demolished.[1]
