The History of Boreatton Park, Shrewsbury

From Victorian Asylum to Approved School

Boreatton Park's history is one of the most fascinating aspects of this Shropshire location.

1884 – Boreatton Park Becomes a Private Asylum

In 1884, Boreatton Park was purchased by Dr Sankey and converted into a private psychiatric asylum.

The establishment was described historically as a licensed house for the reception of patients from the upper classes.

During the Victorian era, attitudes towards mental health were very different from those of today, and institutions such as Boreatton Park formed part of Britain's developing psychiatric care system.

1942 – A New Chapter Under the Home Office

In 1942, the Home Office took control of Boreatton Park, marking the beginning of a different period in the building's history.

The property subsequently served as an approved school for boys, associated with the correctional and residential education system.

The Approved School Years

During its years as an approved school, boys aged approximately 14 to 18 were sent to Boreatton Park, often following court decisions.

Accounts from former residents describe aspects of life within the institution, including difficult experiences.

These personal histories form an important part of Boreatton Park's past.

1969 – A Community Home

By 1969, Boreatton Park had become a community home, reflecting further changes in the care and residential education system.

1974 – Closure

The institution eventually closed in 1974, bringing an end to decades of institutional use.

Today, its history continues to attract interest from those fascinated by historic buildings, social history and reported paranormal phenomena.

The Mystery of Boreatton Park's Victorian Calendar House

• 52 doors, representing the weeks of the year.
