Homes in Mickleover

Mickleover was a small farming village until the county asylum opened in 1849, later Pastures Hospital. The old street pattern survives in the conservation area, designated in 1975, with timber-framed buildings such as the Old Hall on Orchard Street. Suburban housing now surrounds it. Pastures Hospital closed in 1994 and became homes at Duesbury Court, and the former Bishop Lonsdale college campus became nearly 700 new homes in 2007 and 2008. Those newer houses are well wired, but their boards are often full, which matters when you want a charger.
