- Regeneration of Georgian hospital and creation of new urban quarter
- The development, Victoria Bridge, has been built as a partnership between Laing Homes and Marches Housing Association. The conversion of the hospital complex provides fifty conversion apartments together with 42 new-build dwellings. The four two bedroom shared ownership houses have been sold on a shared equity basis. The ten rented properties have all been allocated to people with local connections with Herefordshire.
- As a purpose built hospital of the late 18th Century, Hereford Hospital has both architectural
and historical value.
Later extensions have created a strong building group along the River Wye frontage. At the rear, however, the remains of the earlier parts merged
into extensions and alterations that obscured the rear elevations of the original blocks.
- Boughton Butler tackled this significant architectural problem through a well-thought out response; removing
those parts of the listed structure that obscure the original form and to reinstate the rear elevation as far as possible to be close to the eighteenth
century block with wings retained to form
the main frontage.
