REPORT  OF  THE  COMMITTEE  OF  VISITORS 

OF  THE 

COUNTY  LUNATIC  ASYLUM  AT  PRESTWICH, 

TO  THE 

Adjourned  General  Annual  Session  held  in  September ,  1852. 


Although  the  Committee  of  Visitors  have  on  previous  occasions  during 
;the  progress  of  the  works,  reported  briefly  to  the  Court  of  Annual 
(Session,  it  seems  fitting  that  they  should  now,  at  the  conclusion  of  their 
labours  as  a  Building  Committee,  give  some  general  account  of  their 
proceedings  relative  to  the  selection  of  a  site  and  the  erection  of  the 
edifice. 

The  first  Committee,  after  their  appointment  in  1846,  lost  no  time.in 
communicating  with  the  Commissioners  in  Lunacy,  and  availing  them¬ 
selves  of  the  valuable  services  of  Mr,  Gaskell,  at  that  time  Superintendent 
of  the  Lancaster  Asylum,  and  now  himself  a  member  of  the  Lunacy 
iCommission. 

After  much  pains-taking  in  the  selection  of  a  site  eligible  from  the 
mature  of  its  soil,  its  general  salubrity,  and  its  contiguity  to  the  more 
(populous  Unions  within  the  Hundred  of  Salford,  the  Committee  ultimately 
ipurchased  the  site  on  which  the  Asylum  now  stands,  consisting  of  37a. 
fir.  23p.  situate  in  the  township  of  Prestwich,  and  about  four  miles  from 
Manchester,  for  the  sum  of  £11,412.  4s.  5d.,  including  the  Land-tax, 
Tithe- Com  mutation  rent,  timber,  &c. 

The  sum  per  acre  was  large,  but  the  Commissioners  in  Lunacy  ex¬ 
pressed  a  very  strong  opinion  as  to  the  nature  of  the  sub-soil  required, 
and  nowhere  within  the  Hundred  of  Salford  could  the  Committee  obtain 
the  same  advantages  of  soil  and  situation  for  a  less  sum.

At  the  same  time  that  search  was  being  made  for  a  proper  site,  the 
Committee  invited  the  competition  of  Architects  of  eminence,  by  offering 
a  premium  for  the  best  design  for  a  Lunatic  Asylum  adapted  to  the 
improved  system  of  treating  the  insane.  In  the  directions  given  to  the 
Architects,  and  in  selecting  the  plans  which  were  ultimately  agreed  upon, 
the  Committee  received  very  important  aid  from  Mr.  Gaskell  and  the 

Commissioners  in  Lunacy. 

✓ 

The  building,  in  its  general  design,  is  on  the  detached  principle.  It 
consists  of  the  following  separate  blocks  of  buildings,  communicating 
with  each  other  by  several  passages  or  corridors. 

1.  — The  domestic  department,  containing  the  kitchens,  laundry, 

wash-houses,  store-rooms,  work-rooms,  and  other  offices. 

2.  — Quiet  and  orderly  wards  for  males. 

3.  — Infirmary  and  epileptic  wards  for  males. 

4.  — Violent  wards  for  males. 

5 _ Quiet  and  orderly  wards  for  females. 

6.  — Infirmary  and  epileptic  wards  for  females. 

0 

7.  — Violent  wards  for  females. 

8.  — Houses  of  Superintendent  and  Chaplain,  and  Magistrates'  I 

rooms. 

The  chapel  is  at  some  distance  from  all  the  buildings,  and  has  the! 
character  of  a  small  village  church. 

The  farm  buildings,  stable,  gas  and  engine  house,  joiners’,  plumbers’, 
blacksmiths’,  and  mechanics’  shops  are  also  at  some  distance  from  the  I 
main  structure. 

The  whole  building  is  of  brick,  with  stone  dressings. 

The  detached  plan  is  considered  to  possess  peculiar  advantages  which  | 
do  not  belong  to  buildings  of  more  compact  design,  occupying  a  smaller  b 
area,  or  connected  under  one  continuous  roof.  It  allows  of  a  mor< 


7 


9  circulation  of  air — it  admits  of  enlargement  at  less  expense — there 
ess  danger  of  fire — it  provides  for  a  more  decided  and  distant  separa- 
q  of  the  different  classes  of  patients — and  affords  facility  for  more 
ivenient  airing  or  recreation  grounds. 

As  the  structure  approached  its  completion,  it  was  deemed  advisable 
it  the  Committee  should  be  assisted  in  their  deliberations  by  some  one 
ictically  acquainted  with  all  the  detail  of  internal  arrangement  in 
ablishments  of  this  kind.  Accordingly,  at  the  suggestion  of  the 
mmissioners  in  Lunacy,  the  Committee  proceeded  to  the  appointment 
the  Superintendent  of  the  Asylum  in  January  1850. 

Mr.  Holland,  who  for  upwards  of  three  years  previously  had  been 
3  Superintendent  of  the  male  department  in  the  New  County  Lunatic 
iylum  for  Surrey,  was  elected  out  of  about  thirty  competitors.  From 
n  the  Committee  received  many  most  valuable  suggestions. 

The  following  sums  had  been  expended  in  the  building  and  furnishing 
counts  up  to  the  31st  of  May  last,  a  fuller  and  more  detailed  statement 
which  is  appended  to  this  report,

On  the  31st  of  May  last  there  was  a  balance  of  <£2878.  19s.  5d,  in  the 
mds  of  the  Committee.  This  sum  will  enable  the  Committee  to  com- 
ete  their  arrangements. 

The  Asylum,  as  it  now  stands,  is  capable,  in  the  opinion  of  the  Super- 
tendent,  of  containing  514  patients.  The  domestic  department  is  of  a 


8 


size  and  capacity  to  meet,  without  further  alteration,  all  the  requirements 
of  a  greater  number  of  inmates,  should  it  be  found  needful  at  a  future 
period  to  increase  the  accommodation  in  other  parts  of  the  building,  by 
an  enlargement  of  or  an  addition  to  the  present  number  of  wards. 

The  Asylum  was  opened  for  the  reception  of  patients  on  the  1st  of 
January,  1851 :  since  that  time  there  has  been  a  gradual  increase  in  the 
number  of  admissions.  The  number  of  patients  in  the  Asylum  on  the 
31st  of  August  was  370. 

The  Committee  have  finally  to  report,  that  they  entertain  the  most 
favourable  opinion  as  to  the  eligibility  of  the  site,  and  the  principle 
upon  which  the  buildings  have  been  constructed. 

And  they  take  this  opportunity  of  expressing  their  approbation  of  the 
zeal  and  assiduity  with  which  the  officers  of  the  establishment  have 
discharged  their  several  duties.

County  of  Lancaster  Lunatic  Asylum, 

Prestwich,  March  1853. 

t 


Gentlemen, 

I  have  the  honour  of  submitting  to  you  the  following  report  of 
the  progress  of  this  Asylum  during  the  past  year,  being  the  second  since 
its  establishment. 

] 

On  the  1st  of  January  1852,  the  Institution  contained  302  patients; 

: 272  have  been  admitted  during  “the  year  (137  men  and  135  women); 
107  have  been  discharged  recovered,  5  relieved,  15  unimproved  ;  2  have 
; escaped  and  57  have  died;  leaving  388  in  the  asylum  on  the  1st  of 
January  1853. 

The  proportion  of  cures  (39-34  per  cent,  on  the  admissions,  and  18-64 
on  the  total  number  under  treatment)  as  compared  with  those  of  the 
previous  year  is  greater  by  one-fourth,  the  mortality  having  diminished 
in  the  same  ratio.  In  24  instances  death  took  place  in  persons  who  had 
been  admitted  with  incurable  disease  of  the  brain  and  membranes,  com¬ 
bined  with  general  paralysis  and  epilepsy  ;  in  1 1  from  disease  of  the 
heart  and  lungs ;  in  5  from  natural  decay  in  old  age ;  in  9  from  exhaustion 
after  mania ;  and  in  the  remaining  8  from  various  causes  named  in 
:  the  annexed  tables.  It  is  gratifying  to  be  able  to  say  that  out  of  the  107 
:  discharged  recovered,  5  only,  after  an  absence  of  several  months,  were 
•  re-admitted  before  the  expiration  of  the  year ;  the  cause  of  relapse,  in 
i  three  instances,  being  a  return  to  habits  of  intemperance. 

The  general  health  of  the  patients  has  been  remarkably  good  through¬ 
out  the  year,  and  the  hearty  appearance  of  the  inmates  gives  the  best 
assurance  of  the  sufficiency  both  of  diet  and  clothing. 


14 


Of  the  388  patients  left  in  the  Asylum  at  the  commencement  of  the 
year,  99  ( or  one-fourth  of  the  number )  were  the  subjects  of  epilepsy  and 
general  paralysis  ;  and,  in  addition  to  these,  159  were  cases  of  many 
years’  standing,  with  little  or  no  chance  of  recovery.  The  asylum  is, 
therefore,  already  burthened  with  patients,  to  the  amount  of  at  least  258, 
(or  two-thirds  of  the  whole')  whose  maladies  are  of  a  hopeless  character. 

These  facts  will  at  once  set  aside  the  supposition  that  this  Asylum  is  to 
be  appropriated  chiefly  as  a  curative  establishment,  and  I  fear  that  before 
very  long  it  will  be  so  full  of  incurables  that  very  few  of  the  more  urgent ; 
cases  will  gain  admission. 

The  employment  of  the  patients,  which  was  very  considerable  the  first 
year,  has  been  carried  on  during  the  past  to  a  much  greater  extent,  andi 
has  helped  much  to  keep  down  the  expenditure.  The  whole  of  the 
interior  of  the  Asylum  has  been  painted  and  whitewashed  by  the  men 
under  the  management  of  the  chief  male-attendant,  and  in  like  manner  • 
the  apartments  of  the  House-Surgeon,  Steward,  and  Matron  have  been 
painted  and  papered:  the  walls  of  the  entrance-hall,  staircases  and 
various  offices  have  also  been  painted  by  the  same  hands. 

Through  the  industry  of  the  patients  many  comforts,  at  a  comparatively 
1  rifling  expense,  have  been  added  to  the  wards,  and  many  defects  remedied 
which  have  presented  themselves  in  the  working  of  the  establishment. 
A  large  quantity  of  furniture  and  clothing  has  also  been  made  by  them, 
and  1  would  here  draw  your  attention  to  the  great  amount  of  work  done 
in  the  shoemakers’  shop,  where  nine-tenths  of  the  patients  employed  there  i 
have  been  taught  shoemaking  and  mending  by  the  attendant,  several  of 
them  having  been  instructed  and  rendered  competent  to  make  a  pair  of 
shoes  whilst  under  treatment  for  a  recent  attack  of  insanity. 

All  the  airing-grounds  (one  of  which  has  been  laid  out  as  a  bowling- 
green)  are  on  the  point  of  completion,  and  the  carriage-drive  and  road 
connecting  the  farm  buildings  with  the  meadows  are  also  finished,  the 
latter  having  been  a  work  of  great  magnitude,  in  consequence  of  its 
having  been,  for  the  sake  of  convenience,  carried  across  a  deep  ravine. 
This,  with  the  cultivation  of  the  garden-land,  hay-making,  and  other 
farming  operations,  has  afforded  plenty  of  out-door  occupation. 


15 


In  addition  to  the  annual  lists  of  in-door  work,  I  have  subjoined,  by 
your  desire,  so  far  as  is  practicable,  another  of  work  done  by  the  patients 
in  the  capacity  of  joiners,  plumbers,  painters,  stonemasons,  and  smiths, 
under  the  superintendence  of  the  respective  attendants,  although  very 
much  more  has  been  accomplished  than  has  been  recorded  or  can  be 
described. 

Hitherto  the  labour  has  contributed  chiefly  to  diminish  the  County 
j  expenditure,  but  in  future  years  it  is  hoped  that  the  maintenance  account 
(which  is  already  very  moderate)  will  be  lessened  ;  the  average  weekly 
cost  per  head  having  been  during  the  first  year  no  more  than  8s.  3d.,  and 
in  the  second  year  only  6s.  8|d. 


Statements  having  been  made  reflecting  upon  the  wisdom  of  those 
connected  with  the  management  of  Asylums  where  labour  is  much  pur¬ 
sued,  and  hinting  that  the  mortality  is  thereby  increased,  I  think  it  will 
not  be  out  of  place  on  my  part,  to  remark  that,  upon  carefully  examining 
the  lists  of  those  who  have  died  in  this  establishment  since  its  opening,  I 
[find  that  not  more  than  one-fifth ,  during  their  residence  here,  ever 
attempted  to  employ  themselves,  and  with  even  more  than  one-half  of 
these,  the  occupation  was  of  the  slightest  possible  description ;  and  the 
results  of  the  general  treatment  adopted  here,  as  regards  the  proportion 
of  recoveries,  the  health  of  the  patients,  and  the  usual  quietude  of  the  place, 
ill,  I  believe,  bear  a  not  unfavourable  comparison  with  the  generality 
of  County  Asylums. 


If  employment  has  been  studiously  urged,  recreation  has  not  been 
forgotten,  but  advantage  has  been  taken  of  every  means  of  amusing  the 
inmates.  During  the  summer  months,  besides  the  out-door  games  of 
cricket,  quoits,  &c.,  we  have  had  weekly,  through  the  kind  permission  of 
Mr.  R.  N.  Philips,  a  neighbouring  Magistrate,  the  use  of  his  juvenile  band, 

I  to  the  music  of  which  many  of  the  patients,  both  male  and  female, 
danced  in  the  meadows  from  early  in  the  afternoon  till  twilight,  whilst 
others,  although  not  joining  in  the  dances,  evidently  enjoyed  the  scene 
as  spectators.  In  the  winter  months,  they  have  met  weekly,  after  tea, 
in  the  large  recreation  hall,  and  danced  until  nine  or  ten  o  clock,  to  the 
music  of  our  own  brass  band,  which,  through  your  kind  grant  and  other 
contributions,  we  have  been  enabled  to  establish.  W e  number  fourteen 


16 


in  the  band,  and  this,  with  the  help  of  some  violins  and  glee-singing, 
seems  to  afford  great  pleasure  to  the  inmates  of  the  establishment.  *  ■  I 

The  church  services  are  continued  in  full,  as  usual,  two-thirds  of  the 
patients,  on  an  average,  being  present  both  morning  and  afternoon;  i 
and  the  same  remarkably  quiet  manner  distinguishes  them  as  heretofore. 

It  gives  me  again  great  pleasure  to  say  that  no  suicide  has  taken  place 
since  the  opening  of  the  Institution,  and  that  no  injury  of  any  moment  ; 
has  occurred  from  the  use  of  tools  on  the  part  of  the  patients.  Recourse  jj 
to  mechanical  restraint  has  not  been  found  necessary  in  any  instance 
during  the  year. 

I  purposely  abstain  from  entering  into  details  of  the  medical  means  : 
resorted  to  in  the  treatment  of  the  insane,  looking  upon  a  report  of  this  i 
kind  as  addressed  solely  to  Magistrates,  the  great  majority  of  whom  would 
not  feel  any  interest  therein.  To  those  who  do  interest  themselves  in  ! 
the  purely  medical  department,  the  books  are  always  open,  in  which  a  full 
record  of  each  case  is  kept. 

The  following  report  was  made  by  the  Commissioners  in  Lunacy,  as  to 
the  condition  of  the  Asylum,  at  their  last  visit,  which,  amongst  other  > 
things,  shows  the  rapid  increase  of  patients  since  the  commencement  of  i 
the  year. 


“  County  of  Lancaster  Asylum,  Prestwich, 

“March  17th,  1853. 

“  There  are  at  present  in  this  Asylum  435  patients,  of  whom  220  are  t 
males  and  215  are  females.  17  patients  are  registered  as  being  under  > 
medical  treatment,  and  7  males  and  5  females  as  having  been  secluded  si 
during  the  last  week.  No  one,  however,  was  in  seclusion  at  the  time  of  jj 
our  visit. 

“We  learn,  on  enquiry,  that  368  patients  (179  men  and  186  women) 
are  employed  in  various  ways,  a  considerable  number  of  the  males  out  of 
doors  ;  and  that  230  patients  attend  the  church  services.

“  Since  the  last  visit  of  the  Commissioners,  on  the  21st  of  October 
\  1851,  402  patients  have  been  admitted,  163  have  been  discharged,  and 
>  88  have  died,  many  of  them  from  general  paralysis. 

«  We  have  to-day  seen  all  the  patients,  who  (with  three  or  four  excep¬ 
tions)  were  tranquil  at  the  time  of  our  visit,  and  all  appeared  well 
,  clothed  and  comfortable.  The  rooms,  which  we  inspected,  were  clean, 
well-ventilated,  and  in  good  order ;  and  the  establishment  throughout  is 
in  a  satisfactory  condition,  and  reflects  great  credit  on  the  Medical 
Superintendent  under  whose  care  the  Asylum  is  placed. 


(Signed) 


In  conclusion,  I  believe  I  can  report  favourably  upon  the  steady  and 
satisfactory  progress  of  the  Asylum  in  every  department. 


I  remain.  Gentlemen, 

Your  obedient,  humble  servant,
