Whittingham Hospital
Whittingham Hospital was a psychiatric hospital in the parish of Whittingham, near Preston, Lancashire, England.
The hospital opened in 1873 as the Fourth Lancashire County Asylum and grew to be the largest mental hospital in Britain, and pioneered the use of electroencephalograms (EEGs). During its time it had its own church, farms, railway, telephone exchange, post office, reservoirs, gas works, brewery, orchestra, brass band, ballroom and butchers.〔Pattinson, M. (Ed.) (1999) ''Longridge — The Way we Were'', Hudson History of Settle, ISBN 0-9533643-4-8, p.108〕 It closed in 1995.
==Design and construction==
In 1866, the three Lancashire lunatic asylums at Prestwich, Rainhill and Lancaster were deemed to be full.〔Pattinson, p.109〕 Extra accommodation was urgently needed and to this end the building of Whittingham Asylum "for pauper lunatics" began in 1869.〔Pattinson, p.111〕 The hospital was designed by Henry Littler of Manchester, Architect to the Lancashire Asylums Board〔Cracknell, Peter, ("County Asylums" ), accessed 6 May 2012〕 and built of red brick made from clay dug on site.〔Pattinson, p.112〕 The buildings followed a plan of multiple quadrangles with inter-connecting corridors radiating from a long axial corridor section.〔
