Denis was a talented and ambitious graduate from the Royal College of Art. He was a patient at Glenside Hospital in the 1950’s and suffered from bouts of severe depression.
The 1918 Education Act made schooling for all disabled children compulsory. It was a very significant piece of legislation. By 1921, there were more than 300 institutions for blind, deaf, 'crippled', tubercular, and epileptic children.
Reverend Harold Nelson Burden was an early pioneer of mental healthcare for children and adults. He founded Stoke Park Colony with his first wife Katherine in 1909.
In the ten years I have been researching the patients of the Bristol Lunatic Asylum, the thing that most struck me was the disparity between the popular view of asylums and the results of my studies.
