1. Title: A Historical Overview of Derby County Mental Hospital, Mickleover, Derbyshire: An Aerial Perspective of Pastures Hospital 2.. This evocative aerial photograph captures the historic Derby County Mental Hospital at Mickleover, Derbyshire, in England, as it appeared during the 1930s. Originally established in 1851 as the Derbyshire County Lunatic Asylum, the site was designed by Henry Duesbury, a prominent local architect, and was later known as Pastures Hospital. Set amidst the picturesque countryside, the hospital was a significant institution for mental health care in the region during the Victorian era and beyond. The 1850s marked a pivotal time in the history of mental health treatment, with a growing recognition of the need for humane and effective care for those suffering from mental illness. The design of the hospital reflected the contemporary understanding of therapeutic environments, with ample green spaces, farmland, and gardens intended to provide patients with a sense of tranquility and connection to nature. The hospital's layout was also influenced by the "moral treatment" philosophy, which emphasized the importance of creating a nurturing and supportive atmosphere for patients. In the image, we can see the sprawling campus, with its red-brick buildings and extensive grounds, nestled among the rolling hills and verdant fields. The hospital's layout is reminiscent of a small village, with various buildings arranged around open spaces and gardens. The surrounding fields and pastures, which once provided sustenance for the hospital, add to the idyllic scene. The Derby County Mental Hospital at Mickleover stands as a testament to the evolving history of mental health care and the commitment to providing compassionate and effective treatment for those in need. This aerial view offers a unique perspective on the hospital's rich past and the enduring legacy of Henry Duesbury's vision for a therapeutic and humane institution.
