EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting print captures the imposing facade of Myland Asylum in Colchester, Essex. Originally known as the Second Essex County Asylum and later Severalls Mental Hospital, this institution opened its doors in 1913 to provide care for those suffering from mental illness. The high fence surrounding the asylum serves as a stark reminder of the isolation and confinement that many patients experienced within its walls.
The history of Myland Asylum is a reflection of society's changing attitudes towards mental health care. In the early 20th century, institutions like this one were seen as places of refuge for individuals deemed "insane" or "feeble-minded." However, they often became overcrowded and underfunded, leading to conditions of poverty and neglect for many residents.
Despite these challenges, Myland Asylum played a crucial role in providing medical treatment and support for those struggling with psychiatric disorders. The workhouse-like architecture seen in this photo speaks to a time when mental health care was still in its infancy, with limited resources available for those in need.
Today, Severalls Mental Hospital stands as a testament to our evolving understanding of mental illness and the importance of compassionate care. This print serves as a poignant reminder of the struggles faced by patients at Myland Asylum throughout its history.
