St Mary's Hospital, originally called Gateshead Borough Lunatic Asylum and Stannington Mental Hospital, was a psychiatric hospital in the parish of Stannington, Northumberland, England. Construction started in 1910 and the facility was completed and opened in 1914, designed by architect George Thomas Hine (1841–1916), a specialist in designing asylums for the insane.
After operating for over 80 years, the hospital closed in 1995 when most surviving facilities were relocated to Bensham General Hospital. Most of the hospital has now been demolished to make way for housing, however, some buildings remain in varying forms, including 34 former staff houses known locally as The Villas.
