In August 1989 Meanwood Park Hospital, Leeds, the biggest hospital for mental handicap in the Yorkshire Health Region, reached the seventieth anniversary of its foundation. Like other hospitals for mental handicap. Meanwood Park is coming to the end of an era. The parkland of 134 acres, which has been the hospital's estate, and has existed for over 200 years, is to be sold in phases for housing schemes. Now is an opportune time to record the history of this hospital.
