Water towers became a major symbol of asylums. Cheddleton asylum's tower still dominates the landscape, at 135 feet in height. Read more about this amazing engineering feat (image https://t.co/9ZS060q7rr)https://t.co/WNGZktzzIR #staffsasylums

#VanGogh's iconic Irises (now in the permanent collection of the Getty Museum) was painted in the San Remy Asylum central courtyard while Vincent was in recovery. To this day flowers grow in the grounds and gardens of the San Remy facility creating a calm restorative atmosphere.

🚨New Blog Post🚨

This is a brief look at the responses to insanity before Cumbria had its own pauper lunatic asylum. I also tried to get in a few examples from #KirkbyStephen as the closer to home, the more fascinating! Happy reading!

This is the female hospital building at the House of Daviot, which was the country branch of Aberdeen Royal Lunatic Asylum. Purchased in 1888, it provided the kind of surroundings and work familiar to many of the asylum's country patients in the hope of enhancing their recovery.
