AdminHistoryHaydock Lodge Asylum was opened in either 1843 or 1844 as 'a private asylum for the restoration and cure of the insane'. It was housed in a property formerly owned by the Legh family of Lyme. The original business venture was undertaken by George Goode and provided for both private and pauper 'lunatics'. It was closed in 1851, but re-opened in 1852 by John Sutton, formerly Master of the Manchester Workhouse. In 1872 it was burnt down, but rebuilt immediately afterwards.
