A Brief History of The Galleries:

Formerly known as Warley Hospital, this landmark development is rich in Essex heritage. Originally opened in 1853 the site was designed by architects Kendall & Pope in the ornate High Victorian Gothic style. Over time, it evolved and eventually became Warley Hospital under the nhs. After closing in 2001, the site was sensitively converted into The Galleries—a residential haven that honours its striking architecture while offering modern comfort and security. The result? A unique blend of character, history and lifestyle rarely found in new builds today.
