Broadgate Hospital was a mental health facility to the east of Walkington, East Riding of Yorkshire, England.

History

The hospital was located on a site previously occupied by Broadgate Farm.^[1] It was designed by Charles Henry Howell using a Corridor Plan layout and opened as the East Riding County Asylum in October 1871.^[2] It became the East Riding Mental Hospital in the 1920s before joining the National Health Service as Broadgate Hospital in 1948.^[1]

After the introduction of Care in the Community in the early 1980s, the hospital went into a period of decline and, once the patients had been transferred to De la Pole Hospital in Willerby,^[3] Broadgate Hospital closed in April 1989.^[1] The buildings have since been demolished and the site has been redeveloped by Bryant Homes as a new village known as Broadgate.^[1]
