Digital Archive from an Analytical Buildings Record (level 3) of the Grace and Henderson Wards, Thornbury Hospital, Thornbury, South Gloucestershire, November 2024

This collection comprises site images and reports from a level 3 analytical building record of the Grace and Henderson Wards at the former Thornbury Hospital, Eastland Road, Thornbury, South Gloucestershire. The recording works were conducted by Bristol and Bath Heritage Consultancy Ltd. on the 7th November 2024. The project report presents a historic building record of the Grace and Henderson wards constructed for the infirmary of the former Thornbury Union Workhouse, which later became Thornbury Hospital. The Grace Ward was constructed in 1902. Further extensions were added to the south in 1914 and to the north and east of the building both pre- and post-WWII. The Henderson Ward was added to the south of the Grace Ward in 1932, connected to it by a narrow link building with its own entrance. This 31-bed ward was added in the context of local authorities assuming control of workhouses. Extensions were added to the link building and to the rear of the Henderson Ward later in the 20th century.
