Barnsley Hall Hospital was a psychiatric facility located in Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, on a 324-acre (131 ha) site purchased by the County Council in 1899. It opened in 1907, to relieve pressure on the county's only existing asylum, Powick Hospital near Malvern and to serve the northern part of the county. By 1929 it had reached its capacity of around 720 patients. Additional buildings increased its capacity to about 1,200, but it was heavily populated when it was used as a military hand emergency hospital during the two World Wars. The hospital closed in 1996 and most of the patients were settled into the community.
