EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the Stoke Park Colony, also known as Stoke Park Hospital, on a serene day in May 1947. The aerial perspective offers a unique glimpse into this historic site located in Stoke Gifford, near Bristol, South Gloucestershire.
At the heart of the image stands the Dower House, its once vibrant white facade now transformed into a warm shade of yellow by years gone by. Perched proudly on the balustraded terrace, it remains an iconic landmark that has witnessed countless stories unfold within its walls.
Surrounded by lush greenery and neatly manicured gardens, this grand house exudes elegance and charm. Its architectural details are beautifully captured from above – every window pane and rooftop tile telling tales of days long past.
The tranquil atmosphere depicted in this photograph belies the purpose for which this place was originally built. The Stoke Park Colony served as a hospital for those with mental health conditions during a time when understanding and support were limited. It is both fascinating and poignant to contemplate how society's approach to mental health has evolved since then.
As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of our shared history and how far we have come. This image serves as a testament to resilience – not only of the building itself but also of those who sought solace or healing within its walls.
Thanks to Historic England's Aerofilms Collection, we can appreciate these glimpses into our past from an entirely new perspective. This particular print captures an enchanting moment at Stoke Park Colony that will forever be preserved for generations to come.
