Thorpe Coombe Hospital

Thorpe Coombe Hospital

Thorpe Coombe Hospital is a psychiatric unit and former maternity hospital in Walthamstow, north-east London, and part of North East London NHS Mental Health Trust.

History

The hospital was opened as a maternity hospital in 1934, making use of part of a mansion which had been owned by Octavius Wigram. It ceased maternity facilities in 1973 and was subsequently used as a nurses' home, then a treatment centre for Alzheimer's disease patients, and latterly an out-patients psychiatric hospital.

Never a large hospital (as a maternity hospital it had 70 beds), today it predominately houses administrative staff: it is the base for the local community mental health team. It does however still offer some out-patient treatment for children and teenagers.
