EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time and explore the historic grounds of the former Stafford County Asylum, now known as St. Matthew's Hospital, located in Burntwood, Staffordshire. Established in 1864, this imposing Victorian institution was designed by architect William Lambie Moffatt and served as a sanctuary for those in need of mental health care during the 19th and early 20th centuries. The entrance to the asylum, with its ornate ivy-covered tower and grand driveway, exudes an air of both authority and compassion. The buildings, which once housed hundreds of patients, were intended to provide a safe and supportive environment for those suffering from various mental illnesses, as well as the poverty-stricken and destitute. The 1860s saw a shift in the treatment of the mentally ill, moving away from the harsh conditions of workhouses and towards more humane and therapeutic care. The Staffordshire County Lunatic Asylum was a reflection of this new approach, with its spacious grounds, well-ventilated wards, and emphasis on work and recreation. As you wander through the historic grounds, imagine the lives of those who once called this place home. Picture the hustle and bustle of daily life, the sound of clattering crockery from the kitchen, the gentle hum of conversation from the common rooms, and the soothing strains of music from the recreational hall. This photograph, taken in 1912, captures the essence of a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the history of mental health care in Staffordshire. The ivy-covered walls, the towering chimneys, and the sweeping driveway all speak to the rich heritage of this remarkable institution.
