Carlton Hayes Hospital

Carlton Hayes Hospital, Narborough, Leicester was the psychiatric hospital of Leicestershire from 1904 to 1995.

The complex was built to the designs of S. P. Pick (Samuel Perkins Pick, 1858-1919), a well-known Leicester architect in Art Nouveau style. The complex was demolished after 1996, and the site redeveloped by the Alliance and Leicester Building Society for their new headquarters.

Philip Larkin's mother was a patient in the hospital in 1956. He described it as "large and dingy as a London terminus".
