Hartwood Asylum - Lanarkshire Dec 2010

[skin]

The official opening was on 20th May 1895 with just seventy patients, enforcing a strict “˜no visitors’ policy because of its seclusion and the large numbers of female staff. Treatment there, involving music and drama therapy was considered enlightened for the times.
By the 1950s Hartwood accommodated almost 2,000 patients and was in use until 1998.
Hartwood was the first hospital in Scotland to use Lobotomy as a cure, pioneered occupational therapy, and in 1985 was the first hospital to try community care.
