Derelict Homelands Hospital, Helmington Row, a small village near Crook in County Durham, England. Now demolished for new homes.

---

Homelands Hospital laid on the outskirts of Helmington Row, a small village near Crook in County Durham, England. It was built in 1903 and its main purpose was as a fever hospital to treat diseases such as tuberculosis, typhus and smallpox. The hospital was closed in 2004 Due to its rural location and the construction of much larger general health care units in bigger cities, Homelands hospital was not required anymore. It became derelict and in August 2016 demolition commenced. This was to make way for a brand new housing development.
