THIS is the latest artist's impression of the £20m mental health hospital beginning to take shape on the edge of Darlington.
Work on the West Park hospital, at Faverdale, is under way and is set to be completed by the end of the year.
The hospital, part of the West Park development which includes 700 homes, will replace outdated facilities such as the Pierremont Unit at Darlington Memorial Hospital.

A spokeswoman for County Durham and Darlington Priority Services NHS Trust said: "Work on the hospital is progressing very well.
