EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the entrance to the Stone Asylum in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, as it stood in the early 20th century. Designed by Thomas Henry Wyatt and David Brandon and opened in 1853, the asylum was originally known as the Buckinghamshire County Lunatic Asylum. The imposing gateway, with its ornate ironwork and tall stone pillars, served as a somber threshold for those entering the institution. At the time, mental health care was largely institutionalized, and asylums like Stone provided housing and medical treatment for individuals deemed mentally ill or incapable of caring for themselves. The asylum later became known as St. John's Hospital and continued to serve the community until the mid-20th century. The photograph shows a porter standing to the right of the gateway, likely greeting visitors or directing patients. The drive leading up to the asylum is lined with trees, creating a sense of isolation and separation from the outside world. The image evokes a sense of history and the social and medical conditions of the 1850s and 1900s. The design of the asylum reflects the Victorian and Edwardian eras, with its grandeur and attention to detail. However, it also serves as a reminder of the poverty and stigma associated with mental illness during this time. The image offers a glimpse into the past, providing a historical record of an important institution in Buckinghamshire's history. Thomas Henry Wyatt and David Brandon were prominent architects of their time, and their design for the Stone Asylum is a testament to their skills and the architectural trends of the period. The photograph stands as a poignant reminder of the past, offering a glimpse into the history of mental health care and the social conditions of the time.
