Purpose-built infirmary and fever wards to the former Caistor Union Workhouse, thought to have been constructed c.1860 as part of a phase of expansion of the earlier Caistor House of Industry site (see MLI52697 for the general workhouse record). The building is thought to have continued in this function until its closure in 1990, though was likely subject to some alterations in 1937, as part of the wider conversion of the site to use as a hospital, specialising in the care of mentally ill patients. {1}2}{3}{4} The building was noted and photographed in April 1995, during a site visit conducted in response of plans for the possible redevelopment of the former Caistor House of Industry site. Whilst the building was still extant and in relatively fair condition at the time of the visit, most of the windows were boarded up and some deterioration of the structure was becoming apparent. The building is largely of two storeys, with some single-storey extensions added to both north and south. All parts of the building are constructed of rendered brick, and feature hipped slate roofs. {5} The building has since been demolished, with the wider site being redeveloped for housing. The infirmary was demolished in late 1998, as seen on the Google Earth satellite imagery layers. {6}
