The main building of Barnes Hospital during dereliction in 2008

Barnes Hospital in Cheadle, Greater Manchester, England, is a former hospital. It is on the border between Manchester and Stockport, near the A34 road in the middle of the complex interchange between Kingsway, the M60 and M56 motorway.[2] The main building is Grade II listed, and lies on green belt land.[3]

The building, completed in 1875, is a noted example of Victorian Gothic Revival architecture and a prominent landmark, sitting on a mount overlooking the surrounding roads. The hospital closed in 1999, and although the building was promptly listed to protect it from demolition, it became derelict.[1]

The former hospital building has now been converted into flats and is at the centre of a new housing development called Barnes Village.[4]
