}}Stoneyetts Hospital (previously Stoneyetts Certified Institution for Mental Defectives)[2] was a psychiatric hospital located in Moodiesburn,[3][4][5] near Glasgow. It operated from 1913 to 1992.[6]

History

Stoneyetts was chartered in 1910[7] and designed by Glasgow Parish Council's Master of Works, Robert Tannock, with the foundation stone being laid by council chairman James Cunningham on 23 May 1912. The hospital was built on a 46½ acre site, purchased by the council from the District Lunacy Board, at East Muckcroft within the "Woodilee estate"; the total cost of the project was £45,000 (including a cost of £70 per bed). The facility contained six 50-bed brick villas; official, administrative and laundry blocks; housing for staff;[8] and a hall with various workrooms that accommodated 320 people[9] (the functions of the hospital buildings and rooms would change over the years). Cunningham conducted the opening ceremony on 6 June 1913. Originally intended for the treatment of people with epilepsy, Stoneyetts was the first Poor Law epileptic colony in Scotland[8] and the only Scottish hospital ever built for epileptic individuals.[10] A remote location was chosen in order to shield patients from the general public.[9]

Following the passing of the Mental Deficiency and Lunacy (Scotland) Act 1913, Stoneyetts became a facility for intellectually disabled people – then termed "mental defectives" – who had been held in asylums for the insane.[8] As well as housing civilians, Stoneyetts received convicts who had been deemed mentally "defective"; Glasgow Govan MP Neil Maclean disapproved of "young lads, guilty merely of a little horse-play or a boyish escapade" being held at the institution.[11] The facility faced problems with overcrowding: arrangements were made with Falkirk Parish Council for patients to be cared for at Blinkbonny Home,[6] and the remaining residents were transferred to the new Lennox Castle Hospital by December 1936. Following restoration, Stoneyetts was re-opened as a unit for certified mental patients on 7 August 1937.[8]

The revised unit was headed by chief physician Dr Alexander Dick. Its first admissions were a number of Woodilee Hospital residents, owing to recent weather damage to that facility. Regular entertainment was provided for patients and staff: a cinema showing was supplied weekly, while the "Stoneyetts Concert Party" consisted of the kitchen staff and two female patients.[12] With the inception of the National Health Service (NHS) in 1948, Stoneyetts was linked with Woodilee and Gartloch hospitals under a single board of management. In 1954 there were 340 staffed beds.[8]

Improvements to the facility were carried out in 1950, at a cost of £6,800. These included an extension to the laundry, the addition of verandas to two of the villas and the erection of a designated patients' cafeteria.[8] A television set was installed in May 1953, courtesy of Sir John Stirling-Maxwell,[13] and a new oil-fired boiler was implemented in the late 1960s.[8] The institution was upgraded and modernised circa 1975.[10] A number of proposed improvements to the hospital were thwarted by the health board's inability to gain sufficient funding over the years.[8] In 1989, a £9,700 minibus was presented to Stoneyetts by the Parks and Recreation Charities Club.[14]

By the early 1970s there was a changing emphasis toward psychogeriatric care at Stoneyetts.[8] The institution became home to numerous Woodilee Hospital residents following the discovery of severe structural defects in the fabric of that facility's buildings on 13 March 1987 (dubbed "Black Friday" by Lenzie residents).[15] In 1988, patients at Stoneyetts ranged in age from 33 to 87, and included people with schizophrenia, new chronic sick, long-term geriatrics, and residents being prepared for rehabilitation.[15] Three years later, patients were aged 40 to 98.[4] As of October 1991, the hospital had 180 beds and 260 staff members.[3]

Two local streets were laid that share the "Stoneyetts" name: Stoneyetts Road in Moodiesburn,[16] and Stoneyetts Drive within Woodilee Village, Lenzie.[17]

Closure

Stoneyetts was in serious need of funding by mid 1989; a fundraiser was organised at the Knights of St Columba social club in Moodiesburn.[18] In May 1991, however, NHS Greater Glasgow announced its plans to close institution,[19] with a view to transfer patients and staff to other locations.[20] Proponents for its closure described the facility's accommodation as "outdated"[3] and "sub-standard".[4]

Tom Clarke, MP for Monklands West, led the opposition against closure.[21] Hospital workers feared that Stoneyetts was being intentionally run down to justify its termination;[22] the Confederation of Health Service Employees (COHSE) had produced a catalogue of complaints against the institution in 1986, citing cockroach and mould infestation, dilapidated surroundings, and staff shortages.[23] Unions threatened to occupy the facility and organise a work-in if the plans went ahead.[24] Despite union opposition, as well as public outcry[3] and protesting by workers,[25] Scottish Health Minister, Michael Forsyth, announced his approval of the closure plans on 24 October 1991. COHSE official Jim Devine described Forsyth's ruling as "an affront to democracy", while Tom Clarke called it a "ruthless decision made on commercial not caring grounds".[3] Clarke demanded a probe into the hospital's closure.[26]

Operations at Stoneyetts officially ceased on 19 February 1992.[27]

Aftermath

NHS Greater Glasgow retained ownership of the land and allowed local players to continue running the hospital's bowling venue after the main buildings were demolished. The desolate area became a popular location for vandalism, fly tipping[28] and underage drinking;[29] concerns were raised with regard to children playing on the site, particularly due to the presence of discarded hypodermic needles.[28] Locals regularly walked their dogs in the less decayed sections.[29]

On 25 September 1999, an 11-year-old boy died after falling 50 feet from a tree in the woods.[30]

In October 2001, the Stoneyetts area again became the cause of public unrest when the Scottish Prison Service expressed interest in purchasing the former hospital grounds to build a jail there.[5]

Several elements of the hospital site remained into the 2010s, such as a tree outline of the grounds, largely overgrown roads, unpowered street lighting, a disused football pitch, and building remnants including an accessible basement.[31] The nearby Stoneyetts Cottages still stand, despite being secluded from the site by the intersecting 2011 M80 motorway extension.[32]

In November 2016, the Stoneyetts land was put up for sale as a residential development site.[33] The following year Miller Homes purchased the area for 291 planned homes, while agreeing to retain Stoneyetts Bowling Club and much of the surrounding woodland; adjacent land by the entrance was procured by Persimmon for 60 proposed builds.[29] Persimmon gained clearance from North Lanarkshire Council in November 2018,[34] while Miller received permission in February 2019.[35]
