The Fletcher Convalescent Home opened on 25 April 1893. The hospital was administered by the Governors of the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital. The building was designed by E Boardman & Son and is unlisted. It was, however, in the Victorian Society's 2008 top-10 list of endangered buildings. Absorbed into the NHS during the 20th century, the home was converted into a geriatric unit which closed in 1998. In 1999 the complex was sold for development.

I wonder if it inspired Pink Floyd "The Fletcher Memorial home for colonial wasters"?
 
I visited this site last week but struggled to find access, we did find an open window to the rear (near the metal stairs). Heard a few people nearby so decided not to go inside.
