Description:The Retreat for Inebriate Men was set up at Little Aston Hall in 1879, having previously occupied Old park Hall in Walsall. It continued until 1901. There was an equivalent home for inebriate women at Corngreaves Hall, Cradley Heath.
Little Aston Hall was originally built in 1730 by Richard Scott of Great Barr Hall. It was then extensively remodelled undertaken in the early 19th century by James Wyatt for William Tennant. It owes its current appearance to a further set of alterations undertaken in 1857 for the Hon. Edward Swynfen Parker Jervis. After its role as a Retreat for Inebriate Men the Hall had a number of owners, including Esso, who used it was their Midlands Headquarters between 1954 and 1966. The site was redeveloped in 1984. The Hall was sub-divided into residential apartments and in the 200s a BUPA residential care home and hospital were built.
