Broadmoor - view of the terrace where male prisoners were ab
Broadmoor opened as an asylum in 1863 to female patients and to male patients the following year. The building was designed by military engineer, Major General Joshua Jebb. Prisoners at this time included Edward Oxford, who shot at Queen Victoria, Captain Johnson, master of the ship, Tory, who slaughtered some of his crew and the young artist Dadds, who cut off his fathers head. A report by Dr John Meyer, in 1867, stated that the accommodation was not satisfactory.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This historical print captures a view of the terrace at Broadmoor, where male prisoners were housed in the mid-19th century. Originally opened as an asylum for female patients in 1863, it quickly expanded to accommodate male patients as well under the design of Major General Joshua Jebb. Among the infamous inmates were Edward Oxford, who attempted to assassinate Queen Victoria, Captain Johnson who committed heinous crimes aboard his ship Tory, and the troubled artist Dadds who infamously decapitated his own father.
A report by Dr John Meyer in 1867 highlighted unsatisfactory living conditions within Broadmoor, prompting alterations to be made to improve sanitation and rearrange internal layouts for the prisoners. This image serves as a stark reminder of a dark chapter in history when individuals deemed unfit for society were confined within these walls.
The architectural significance of Broadmoor is evident in this photograph, showcasing its imposing structure against a backdrop of mystery and intrigue. It stands as a testament to both the importance of historical preservation and our collective responsibility to remember those who once walked these halls.
