Architect: G.T. Hine.
Hazards: A very vigilant local community, builders, surveyors.
Status (extra): Mostly converted or demolished with a few odd bits (villas, lodge, wards etc) left derelict.

Despite the degree of development, there's still stuff at Netherne worth seeing for those in the area, but nothing major.
Much of the hospital complex has been demolished, including much of the farm, northern villas, engineering, two large annexes, kitchens, and one of the two chapels. Of the rest, the outer wards of the main building, admin, the porter's lodge and staff residences have been converted for new use, the tower and main chapel are being converted; main hall, southern villas, lower lodge, graveyard, and isolation hospital are derelict, and Netherne House is extant but in unknown condition.
The Rec Hall is inaccessible, but is worth walking round the outside of, and there are some odd blocks elsewhere most notably the Isolation Hospital.
Much of Netherne is now part of a new village known as Netherne On The Hill.
