  Gransha Hospital was a health facility in Clooney Road, Derry, Northern Ireland. The site is managed by Western Health and Social Care Trust.
  
  ## History
  
  The facility was commissioned to replace the aging Londonderry County Asylum. It was designed by Matthew Alexander Robinson in the Victorian style and built between 1902 and 1905.
  
  After joining the National Health Service in 1948, the facility evolved to become the Stradreagh Hospital. Two gate lodges were added in the 1960s. Following the introduction of Care in the Community in the early 1980s the hospital went into a period of decline and almost all buildings in the old hospital were closed by December 2011.
  
  The main building of the old hospital was occupied by Oakgrove Integrated College on a temporary basis from 1992 until the college moved into modern purpose-built accommodation in 2004. It was subsequently left to decay and was badly damaged in a serious fire in March 2016.
