Former Newton Abbot Isolation Hospital, Devon (OASIS ID: acarchae2-247718)

An historic building record was prepared prior to the demolition of the buildings. The hospital opened in 1902 with three of the buildings dating from this time. It provided wards for Scarlet Fever and Typhoid. The hospital was enlarged soon after with the addition of another ward building for Diphtheria. The hospital remained in use with the NHS until its sale in July 2012. The surviving original buildings - the Garage/Morgue, Ivycroft (the Typhoid ward) and The Willows (the admin building), along with the Day Care Unit (the later Diphtheria ward) were all recorded. They had been altered to various degrees although in most instances their original internal spaces remained. Few original or historic fixtures and fittings survived later upgrades and alterations.
