EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the detailed plan of the South Yorkshire Asylum, also known as Wadsley Asylum and later Middlewood Hospital. The extensive estate depicted in the image includes various hospital buildings such as male and female wings, an administrative block, nurses' residence, laundry house, and dining hall. Additionally, it highlights other essential facilities like Airing courts, Drying Green, boiler buildings, wood and masons yards, farmery, kitchen gardens, isolation hospitals (2), church nursery gardeners lodge and entrance lodge. Although the exact date of this plan remains uncertain, its layout corresponds to a period spanning from approximately 1889 to 1901. During this time frame, the institution was referred to as West Riding Asylum until 1929. Notably absent from the plan is a second dining hall for women that was constructed in 1901 adjacent to the female detached block. Printed by Pawson and Brailsford of Sheffield with a scale of 1 inch : 22 yards; this four-section pasted together print provides valuable insight into the historical development of this asylum complex. Preserved at Sheffield City Archives under reference X71/2/1), this remarkable piece offers researchers and history enthusiasts an opportunity to explore the evolution of mental healthcare facilities in South Yorkshire during that era.
