St Mary’s Park is a housing estate which is being developed in the civil parish of Stannington near Morpeth, Northumberland, England. It is located about 2 miles (3 km) west of Stannington and 4 miles (6 km) south of Morpeth, and was the location of St Mary's Hospital, a former psychiatric hospital.[1] The hospital was built at the beginning of the 20th century as the county asylum for Northumberland, housed up to 2000 patients at one time, and closed in 1996.[2] Most of the hospital buildings have been demolished since in favour of new-built houses, but in the Edwardian administration block of the former hospital, a gastropub with bed and breakfast accommodation has been established under the name of St. Mary's Inn.[3]
