We are an old building with a lot of history. The building is now run by a childcare charity called Longbridge Childcare Strategy Group. (LCSG) We are used as a base for community groups, we have rooms available for hire for training, meetings, small conferences and we also have two office spaces available for rental. There is also one of LCSG’s three Ofsted registered nurseries on the site - Alphabets@Hollymoor Nursery who are housed in the remaining admin buildings from the original Hollymoor Hospital. Other surviving buildings, including the chapel, laundry and water tower, are now home to a church, doctors’ surgery, dentists’ surgery and a pharmacy.
Hollymoor Hospital opened in 1905 as an annex to ‘Rubery Lunatic Asylum’. Costing a quarter of a million pounds to build, it catered for around 600 patients in the rural farmlands between Northfield and Rubery. The 100 acre site, now a housing estate and industrial units, had housing for staff, it’s own bakery, laundry and farm and was linked to Rubery Station by rail.
During both World War I and II, Hollymoor Hospital became a military hospital, caring for wounded soldiers and, later in World War II, as a specialist military psychiatric hospital. Over 30,000 war wounded soldiers received treatment at the site during the two wars.
During its time as a military psychiatric hospital during World War II, Northfield Military Hospital saw some important studies, which helped shape the future of therapeutic communities as a psychiatric treatment, The First and Second Northfield Experiments.
