The First Sixty Years
WEST PARK HOSPITAL EPSOM SURREY The First Sixty Years Bryan C.T. Johnson, F.H.A., Secretary/Treasury/Supplies Officer, West Park Hospital Management Committee ----------------- INTRODUCTION The only excuse the author can offer for writing this book is that he joined the staff of West Park Hospital within four years of its opening, and has been its servant for forty years since. The main sources of information have been the Board of Control Reports until 1959, and the proceedings of the Hospital Management Committee since 1948. Personal recollections of people have influenced what is written to a very great extent. There have been many outstanding men and women associated with West Park and selection has been difficult. If all were mentioned, the book would be too long, but memory can be deceptive and there may be omissions, incomprehensible to some who have known the hospital for a long time. In such cases the author offers his apologies coupled with the assurance that no slight has been intended. A note has been included in Appendix I on the history and development of the Area Laboratory, which, it is hoped, will be of interest. Information about the early years of the laboratory has been derived from "The L.C.C. Hospitals-A Retrospect," published by the London County Council in 1949· As to Appendix II, the author is indebted to an article on the History of Mental Treatment Administration by T. J. BELBIN, D.P.A., F.H.A., published as a winning Essay in the Journal of the Incorporated Association of Clerks and Stewards of Mental Hospitals in March 1938; also to a series of three articles on the Early Development of Mental Health Services by J. -

Club, Community and Coal: A Case Study of Dunfermline Athletic Football Club in the 1980s James Canavan MA Sports History and Culture De Montfort University August, 2015 Acknowledgements Over the past year I have been overwhelmed by the support and guidance by many people associated with Dunfermline Athletic Football Club. From an initial, exploratory post on fans’ forum dafc.net in late July, 2014, I was immediately contacted by Donald Adamson and Jason Barber, who offered to help. Through Jason I was able to interview Jim Leishman and Ian Westwater, and Donald provided me with a high level of information about the club, in addition to the links with coal mining. I cannot thank Donald and Jason enough for their assistance. The following people have also provided help and information along the way: Gordon Baird, Alan Bairner, Kenny Cowan, Joe Graham, Jim Leishman, Duncan Simpson, John Simpson, and Ian Westwater. Every single person is a credit to themselves and to Dunfermline Athletic Football Club for giving up their free time to help me with this dissertation. I would also like to apologise to the staff at the temporary library at St Margaret’s House for my inability to work the microfiche readers, and to thank them for their help. At DMU, Matt Taylor has been very helpful in terms of the structure of the dissertation, and Neil Carter provided initial guidance. Lastly, I would like to thank my Father, Frank Canavan, for being a constant inspiration to complete this project. Since his death in 2009, I have visited Dunfermline every year, taking in a Pars match as a personal tribute. -

The Story of Nursing in British Mental Hospitals
Downloaded by [New York University] at 12:59 29 November 2016 The Story of Nursing in British Mental Hospitals From their beginnings as the asylum attendants of the nineteenth century, mental health nurses have come a long way. This is the first comprehensive history of mental health nursing in Britain in over twenty years, and during this period the landscape has transformed as the large institutions have been replaced by services in the community. McCrae and Nolan examine how the role of mental health nursing has evolved in a social and professional context, brought to life by an abundance of anecdotal accounts. The nine chronologically ordered chapters follow the development from untrained attendants in the pauper lunatic asylums to the professionally qualified nurses of the twentieth century, and, finally, consider the rundown and closure of the mental hospitals from nurses’ perspectives. Throughout, the argument is made that while the training, organisation and environment of mental health nursing has changed, the aim has remained essentially the same: to nurture a therapeutic relationship with people in distress. McCrae and Nolan look forward as well as back, and highlight significant messages for the future of mental health care. For mental health nursing to be meaningfully directed, we must first understand the place from which this field has developed. This scholarly but accessible book is aimed at anyone with an interest in mental health or social history, and will also act as a useful resource for policy- makers, managers and mental health workers. Niall McCrae is a lecturer in mental health nursing at Florence Nightingale Faculty of Nursing & Midwifery, King’s College London. -

HORTON HOSPITAL an Epsom & Ewell Local & Family History Centre Research Guide
HORTON HOSPITAL An Epsom & Ewell Local & Family History Centre Research Guide Following legislation in 1888, the London County Council began building institutions (London County Asylums) to house up to 2,000 pauper lunatics each. Beds were allocated centrally by the LCC with patients being sent to any mental hospital which had beds available, regardless of where they lived in London. As part of the plan, in Epsom, Surrey, over a thousand acres at The Manor of Horton were acquired in 1896. Six hospitals with a total patient population of 12,000 were planned but in fact a cluster of 5 hospitals was built, one of which was Horton. Horton Asylum (later Horton Hospital) was founded in 1899 and opened in 1902, the second asylum to be built on the estate. Along with the other hospitals, Horton was at the forefront of advances in psychiatric medicine. Some patients were allowed access to the grounds and to the town. Recruitment of staff was initially a problem. The untrained male attendants and the female nurses received between £18 and £39 per annum and free board and lodging. Men had to ask permission to marry and only single women were employed. During the First World War Horton Asylum’s civilian patients were dispersed and it was taken over as a general military hospital for servicemen wounded in the war. King George V and Queen Mary visited in July 1916. In 1919 it was handed back to the LCC and in 1920 reinstated as a mental hospital and renamed Horton Mental Hospital, treating mainly female patients.
