Bethel Hospital, Norwich

United Kingdom

Bethel Hospital is a former hospital and Grade II* listed building in Norwich, England. Opened in 1713 on Committee Street (now Bethel Street), it began as the first purpose-built lunatic asylum in Britain. It became part of the National Health Service and thus an annexe to Hellesdon Hospital in 1948, and in 1974 became an outpatient unit for children needing psychiatric treatment before closing by 1995.
