"Willow Court was originally built as an invalid barracks for convicts in 1827. As it expanded, Willow Court accepted patients with various ailments including: epilepsy, malaria, alcoholism, intellectual disability and ciminal insanity. Adolescents and children were also admitted. The hospital became known exclusivley as a mental institution after 1848 and in 1968 the name was changed to The Royal Derwent Hospital. The complex now contains 25 buildings and was closed down in 2001."
