EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the imposing facade of the City of London Asylum in Stone, near Dartford, Kent, which was established in 1862 as a place of refuge for pauper lunatics. Designed by architect James Bunstone Bunning, the buildings were initially intended to provide care and medical treatment for those unable to afford it themselves. The grandiose entranceway, with its ornate stonework and sweeping driveway, gives way to a sprawling complex of houses and buildings that once formed the heart of this Victorian institution. The City of London Asylum later became known as City of London Mental Hospital and then Stone House Hospital, serving the community for over a century. The grounds, which are visible in the background, were an essential part of the asylum, providing residents with access to fresh air, exercise, and the therapeutic benefits of nature. The photograph, taken in the early Edwardian era, around 1906, offers a glimpse into the past, revealing a time when the needs of the mentally ill were addressed through institutional care. The buildings, with their intricate details and grandeur, stand as a testament to the importance placed on providing a safe and supportive environment for those in need. The City of London Asylum at Stone is a significant piece of local and national history, and its buildings, now restored and repurposed, continue to serve the community in new ways. This photograph, with its rich details and intriguing history, invites us to reflect on the past and consider the evolving nature of care and support for those with mental health challenges.
