Crossley Hospital

Crossley Hospital was the Salvation Army's maternity hospital in the Ancoats area of Manchester. The hospital was in the same building as the Star Hall.

Crossley Hospital East is a former tuberculosis sanatorium situated on the outer edge of Delamere Forest in Cheshire near Northwich, within the township of Kingswood. Opened in 1905, Crossley Hospital East operated as a sanatorium until the 1960s, when it became a care home for the elderly. During the later stages of its life, Crossley Hospital East was also used as a psychiatric hospital, and then spent the last years of its life as a boarding school. Crossley Hospital East has now been completely abandoned since 1993 and lies derelict to the north of Delamere Forest. The decline of the building was first documented by Ian Cooper, a photographer, graphic designer and film maker. He also produced the first ever photography exhibition based around a derelict building in the UK after 3 years researching the hospital. Entitled; No Longer Used; The Decay of Crossley Hospital East, which received coverage from the UK national press. Later the building was also documented by photographer Daniel Clark

The hospital was featured on the TV programme "Ghost Hunting with Girls Aloud", where Yvette Fielding and the pop group Girls Aloud explored various parts of Crossley Hospital in search of ghosts. However, on the programme, the hospital was referred to simply as "the old abandoned hospital".

It is rumored that when the hospital was a school the headteacher committed suicide.

The Hospital is going to become apartments and the hospital is now called Kingsley Park.
