In 1868 a wealthy Brentwood solicitor built himself a mansion away from Harold Wood to the south of the river and railway line, and named it Harold Court. After the owner’s bankruptcy the house served as a children’s home, then a lunatic asylum and then a sanatorium. In 1959 it became a teacher training college and has now been converted into private flats. Some more information about its time as a hospital can be found at Link
