EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in the daily life of the Laundry Staff at Whittingham Asylum, near Preston, Lancashire, in the late 1800s. The image, taken at Cumeragh Lane in Goosnargh, depicts a group of women in uniform, busily engaged in their work. The asylum, designed by Henry Littler of Manchester, opened in 1873 as the Lancashire County Lunatic Asylum, later becoming Lancashire County Mental Hospital and then Whittingham Hospital. The women in the photograph are dressed in simple, practical uniforms, consisting of caps and aprons, indicative of their working-class background and the poverty that was prevalent during this era. The laundry was an essential part of the asylum, responsible for the cleaning and maintenance of the linen used throughout the institution. The conditions in which the laundry staff worked were often harsh, with long hours and little pay. The women in the photograph appear focused and determined, their expressions conveying a sense of purpose and duty. The laundry room itself is dimly lit, with small windows letting in only a meager amount of natural light. Despite the challenging conditions, the laundry staff played a vital role in the functioning of the asylum, ensuring that the patients were provided with clean linens and that the institution remained hygienic. The photograph offers a glimpse into the lives of these women, whose hard work and dedication were essential to the care and well-being of the patients at Whittingham Asylum. This image is a poignant reminder of the history of mental health care in Lancashire and the important role that laundry staff played in the daily operations of institutions like Whittingham Asylum. The photograph, taken in the 1870s, is a testament to the resilience and determination of the women who worked in these institutions during a time when mental health care was still in its infancy.
