EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the imposing facade of the Derbyshire County Asylum in Mickleover, near Derby, England. Built in 1851, the asylum was designed by renowned local architect Henry Duesbury and originally known as the Derbyshire County Lunatic Asylum. The institution was established to provide care and treatment for individuals suffering from mental health issues during a time when poverty and limited understanding of mental health led many to endure deplorable conditions in workhouses or be shunned by society. The symmetrical design of the building, with its grand arches and intricate details, reflects the Victorian era's belief in the healing power of architecture. The asylum later became known as the Derbyshire County Mental Hospital and, in the 1920s, as Pastures Hospital. Throughout its history, the institution played a crucial role in the care and treatment of thousands of people, providing a sanctuary for those in need during a time when mental health care was often overlooked or misunderstood. The photograph, taken in the 1920s, offers a glimpse into the past, revealing the grandeur and dignity of a bygone era. The buildings, now listed as Grade II* listed structures, stand as a testament to the dedication and compassion of those who worked within their walls and to the progress made in mental health care over the past century and a half.
