  • 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.

  • 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in Britain in over twenty years, and during this period the landscape has transformed as the large institutions have been replaced by services in the community.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.

  • Epsom & Ewell Biodiversity Action Plan
    Epsom & Ewell Biodiversity Action Plan Progress report for 2013 Introduction During 2013 the Epsom & Ewell Local Biodiversity Action Plan (LBAP) Working Group oversaw significant progress in implementing the plan which can be viewed here: http://www.epsom-ewell.gov.uk/EEBC/Environment/Biodiversity.htm The importance of Biodiversity: Biodiversity encompasses the whole variety of life on Earth. It includes all species of plants and animals, their genetic variation, and the complex ecosystems of which they are part. It is not restricted to rare or threatened species but includes the whole of the natural world from the commonplace to the critically endangered. The intricate network of ecosystems, habitats and species comprising biodiversity provides the support systems that sustain human existence. It provides many of the essentials of life, our oxygen, water, food, clothing, health and relaxation. Consequently, humanity must adopt sustainable ways of living that ensure the protection of biodiversity. Today we live in a world where the economic activities of an ever increasing human population threaten biodiversity which is being lost at an ever increasing rate. Britain alone is known to have lost 100 species during the twentieth century. There is a broad consensus around the world that we need to act now, or risk handing our children a world we would not recognise as planet Earth! 1 | P a g e The 'Working Group' currently comprises the following individuals: Mark Berry: Head of Planning, Epsom & Ewell Borough Council Stewart Cocker: Countryside Manager, Epsom & Ewell Borough Council Sarah Clift: Senior Countryside Officer, Epsom & Ewell Borough Council Jeremy Young: Tree Officer, Epsom & Ewell Borough Council John Edwards: County Ecologist, Surrey County Council Alastair Kirk: Surrey Biological Record Centre Manager, Surrey Wildlife Trust Conor Morrow: Project Officer, Lower Mole Countryside Management Project Kevin Morgan: Locally based ecologist and environmental consultant The plan agreed in 2010 contains 7 objectives, comprising 23 targets with 45 actions.

  • 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.

  • Epsom Common (003).Pdf
    1 FOREWORD Epsom Common Association was founded in 1974 by Ted Dowman, then living in the Greenway, Epsom. In his original foreword he explained that the Association was formed after he had written a letter to a local paper complaining about the way motorists drove over the grassy areas around Stamford Green. He was also concerned about horse riders who thoughtlessly rode over footpaths, making them difficult for walkers. The subsequent development of the Association is described on p41 and included the restoration of the Great Pond, for which we received a Civic Award (p42). Bob Dye, who initiated this, is the only founder member of the Committee still active, though he is well into his eighties. I became chairman in 1983 and Ted left Epsom in 1985. We have since followed a similar programme of walks, displays at local functions, talks to local groups and we have added an autumn lecture as well as one at the AGM. We have maintained our interest in conservation, especially in scrub clearance, and though the Borough Council's activities have been limited by lack of funds we are grateful to the Surrey Wildlife Trust, the Lower Mole Countryside Management Project and many volunteers for their help. We have been greatly concerned about possible effects of a proposed Epsom bypass and one route across the Common was seriously under consideration. This now seems unlikely but other routes and the development of Epsom on land belonging to hospitals to the north of B280 could have direct or indirect effects on the Common. In 1991, the Corporation of London acquired the adjoining Ashtead Common, part of the same SSSI, and great progress has been made there in practical conservation by traditional methods of management.

  • No. 159 Spring 2019
    Epsom Civic Society shaping the future, safeguarding the past NEWSLETTER No - 159 - SPRING 2019 CHAIR’S COMMENTARY Alan Baker and Malcolm Boyd – A Celebration and Vote of Thanks Two of our most distinguished and long-serving committee members, Alan Baker and Malcolm Boyd, will be stepping down from their respective roles at the Society’s Annual General Meeting on 25 th April. I am delighted to have this opportunity to celebrate their contribution to the Society and to thank them on behalf of all members for their dedication which has done so much to ensure both the continuity of the Society’s reputation and well-being, and the development of a robust direction for the Society’s future. Alan joined the committee in 1991 when invited to work on planning applications, serving an initial ‘apprenticeship’ with then fellow committee member, architect Ken Brundle. Alan examined applications with Ken who wrote the letters in his own inimitable style. In 1993, Alan took on the role of Secretary, replacing Tom Dethridge who had become Chairman. Alan continued to work with Ken on planning, taking full charge of that portfolio and becoming the Society’s Vice Chairman in 2001 when Ken left. We have Alan to thank for the many superbly crafted letters submitted to the Council and to the Planning Inspectorate on the Society’s behalf since then in connection with a wide range of planning applications and appeals, and also for his generosity in working with firstly, Rob Austen, and latterly with Bob Hollis on conservation and heritage matters. Alan has encouraged early engagement and constructive discussion with developers over their proposals, provided support to residents on local planning issues, and has also been instrumental in advising and formulating the Society’s policies on planning matters.
