Cherry Farm Hospital, a psychiatric hospital serving the Dunedin area, opened in 1952, and patients from Seacliff Mental Hospital at Seacliff were relocated there soon afterwards. Cherry Farm Hospital epitomised the village-asylum atmosphere in name and design, contrasting with the harsh conditions in the fortress-like Seacliff Hospital.
