Description: This evocative aerial photograph captures the historic Carmarthen County Lunatic Asylum, nestled near the picturesque town of Carmarthen in South Wales. Erected in 1865 and designed by the esteemed architect David Brandon, this grand institution was a joint undertaking by the counties of Carmarthen, Cardigan, and Pembroke.

The architectural design, a testament to the Victorian era's commitment to improving mental health care, boasts an impressive layout and imposing presence.
