Description:This photograph was probably taken when the building was a sanatorium. Said to be built in 1832 as a hunting lodge for the Duke of Sutherland of the nearby Trentham Estate, it was purchased by the Staffordshire, Wolverhampton and Dudley Joint Committee for Tuberculosis in 1913 and turned into a 70 bed sanatorium for female patients. Later a mixed sanatorium, it had become a maternity hospital by 1960, finally closing its doors in 1983. The site was redeveloped 2002 as housing.
