EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting print captures the imposing Angleton Asylum, also known as the Glamorgan County Mental Hospital, in Penyfai, Bridgend, Glamorganshire. The asylum's history is shrouded in tales of poverty and despair, serving as a stark reminder of Wales' troubled past with mental health care.
Built in the 1920s, this asylum was once a place where those deemed "lunatic" were confined and subjected to questionable medical treatments. It later became known as Glanrhyd Hospital, but its dark reputation lingered on.
The image evokes a sense of foreboding and isolation, reflecting the harsh realities faced by patients within these walls. The crumbling facade speaks volumes about the neglect and mistreatment that occurred behind closed doors.
As we look back on this piece of Welsh history, it serves as a somber reminder of how far we have come in terms of mental health care. While progress has been made since the days of Angleton Asylum, there is still much work to be done to ensure that all individuals receive proper treatment and support for their mental well-being.
This print is not just a snapshot from the past - it is a powerful testament to the resilience of those who have suffered within these walls and a call to action for continued improvement in our approach to mental health care.
