History
Moorgreen Hospital and Workhouses.
The hospital originated as the South Stoneham Union Workhouse, designed by Charles Henman and William Hinves, and built in 1848 for £7,000. Initially intended for 250 inmates, it housed 100 in 1841 and 225 in 1871. Inmates worked the surrounding 8 acres, picking oakum, making shoes, and tailoring. In 1930, the workhouse became the West End Institution, converting to Moorgreen Hospital under the NHS in 1948. Countess Mountbatten House, the UK's second NHS palliative care hospice, opened on-site in 1977, later renamed Mountbatten Hampshire in 2020 after becoming an independent charity. In 2007, mental health services were moved to the Tom Rudd Unit, with most of the site closing. The workhouse and gatehouses were converted into flats in 2017, with the remaining buildings demolished.
