More about this scene
The County Lunatic Asylum was opened in 1853, though it was being constantly enlarged. 'The wards are airy, many commanding an extensive prospect', said Kelly's Directory. The grounds comprised 'a farm, kitchen-gardens & pleasure grounds; the farm and garden being cultivated by patients under the superintendence of attendants'. Visiting was limited to once a fortnight.
