Darenth Park Hospital

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Darenth Park Hospital was founded by the Metropolitan Asylums Board in Darenth near Dartford in Kent as "Darenth School" for 500 children with learning disabilities on 18 November 1878.[1] By 1890 it housed over 1,000 children and adults. In 1911 it became the "Darenth Industrial Trading Colony", and was becoming almost self-sufficient in food production and the manufacture of everyday items through the ample supply of free labour. In 1936, as the age and disability levels of residents increased it became Darenth Park Hospital, and management was transferred from the London County Council, which had succeeded the Metropolitan Asylums Board in the management of this institution, to the new National Health Service in 1948. The hospital drew patients from a wide catchment of south-east London and Kent. By 1970 the population had grown to 1,500 and the physical conditions in this grim and vast Victorian building were increasingly unacceptable by modern standards. The hospital had over 40 wards, of which 10 contained more than 50 residents. Finally in 1973 the Regional Health Board agreed to close Darenth, but the funding and planning required for such a major undertaking took years to put in place. Darenth Park was the first large regional learning disability institution to close in the UK as a result of the UK Government's policy. Audrey Emerton, Baroness Emerton, the South East Thames Regional Chief nursing officer between 1979 and 1990, was the guiding force behind the replacement programme. During the period from the early 1980s, nearly a thousand residents were resettled to other hospitals, hostels, small group homes and local facilities. In August 1988 the last residents were transferred and the hospital finally shut its doors. The buildings have been entirely demolished and the new Darent Valley Hospital built on part of the site. A 'village' of 300 new houses was also built and the remaining 100 acres became the Darenth Country Park. The only surviving building is the former 'Darenth Park Hospital Farm', which is now used as a riding school. Arrow Riding School for the disabled.[2] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darenth_Park_Hospital

Fountain Mental Hospital, Tooting

Tooting was the location for one of the new phase of hospitals erected by the Metropolitan Asylums Board in the 1890s. The MAB had been set up in 1867 to administer care for certain categories of the sick poor in metropolitan London. please visit this site for more info: http://www.workhouses.org.uk/MAB-Fountain/

Bedford Lunatic Asylum

The Bedford Lunatic Asylum was built in 1812, and was the second of its kind in England.[citation needed] It was open for 48 years and closed in 1860 because the asylum was not improving its patients' health. Before the Lunacy Act of 1808, only the rich could afford treatment for physical or mental ailments. Although the wealthy had money to pay for treatment, the techniques available at the time were neither safe nor humane. Purges, vomiting and restraint were standard treatments in an age which considered ‘raving madness’ and melancholia to be caused by physical malfunctions like any other disease."[2] The passage of the Lunacy Act of 1808 allowed counties to build asylums with their own money.[2] Changes started being made to help people with mental illness. Samuel Whitbread was the mastermind behind the asylum. Whitbread concentrated on reforming the town after he failed to become successful in political office. Samuel Whitbread's true intentions with the asylum have always been debated. At the time, Bedford was a small town that needed many improvements, bridges needed to be restored and the town was lacking in industry. There is a question of whether his intentions were to help people, or to help himself and gain good publicity. Even so, in April 1812, the Bedford Lunatic Asylum, designed by John Wing, opened its doors. The asylum, however, did not fulfill the expectations of the people. In 1845, thirty-three years after the opening of the asylum, the UK parliament created a new act stating that counties had to either build their own asylums or operate an asylum jointly with another county. Many other counties didn’t build asylums like Bedford,[2] so there were now twice as many inmates in the asylum and not enough staff to help with their needs. Bedford’s neighboring counties, Hertfordshire and Huntingdonshire, then sent patients to Bedford. Soon after the three counties combined asylums in Fairfield Hospital near Arlesey, the Bedford Lunatic Asylum was shut down.[2] It was seen as "unsuitable" for patients. Doctors, nurses, and others in the medical field still were ignorant about taking care of the mentally ill. This caused them to use harsh measures to help cure them. Straitjackets and handcuffs were the tools utilized most in the asylum. The attendants had much to do. Not only did they have to restrain the patients, but they also had to bathe them, dress them and help them through their daily exercises. The attendants understood that the patients were sick and should not be held accountable for the things they said and did.[2] Doctors could not determine what would cure the patients, and choosing the type of doctor to treat the patients was also debated. If the lack of knowledge of how to care for the patients wasn’t enough, the asylum would run into other disastrous problems. The site of the asylum is now a residential building. As for the bodies of patients that died at the hospital, they are now buried underneath the children’s playground.[1] From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bedford_Lunatic_Asylum#History

Monkton Farleigh Ammunition Depot - Farleigh Down Tunnel, Wiltshire

http://www.subbrit.org.uk/sb-sites/sites/m/monkton_farleigh/index.shtml Monkton Farleigh is a small village in west Wiltshire, England, 3 miles (6 km) from Bradford-on-Avon, and 5 miles (8.0 km) from the city of Bath. It is known for its underground mines of Bath Stone, which were converted into one of the largest Ministry of Defence underground ammunition stores in the UK.[2] The civil parish has 34 listed buildings, including:[3] Monkton Farleigh Manor (Grade I)[4] the Refectory at Monkton Farleigh Manor (Grade I ruin)[5] Church of St. Peter (Grade II*)[6] CAD Monkton Farleigh[edit] In the 1930s, it was recognised that there was a need to provide secure storage for munitions across the United Kingdom. The proposal was to create three Central Ammunition Depots (CADs): one in the north (Longtown, Cumbria); one in the Midlands (Nesscliffe, Shropshire); and one in the south. The easily hewn Bath stone, a form of limestone, had created a number of large, horizontal, and relatively dry quarries around Corsham. Monkton Farleigh quarry was renovated from the late 1930s by the Royal Engineers as one of the three major stockpiles. In November 1937 the Great Western Railway were contracted to build a 1,000 feet (300 m) long raised twin-loading platform at Shockerwick, with two sidings from the adjacent Bristol-London mainline branching off just outside the eastern entrance to the Box Tunnel at 51°24′19.31″N 2°17′22.94″W. 30 feet (9.1 m) below and at right angles to this point, the War Office had built a narrow gauge wagon sorting yard. This was attached by a 1.25 miles (2.01 km) tunnel built by The Cementation Company, descending at a rate of 1:8.5 to the Central Ammunition Depot, housed in the former mine workings. The whole logistics operation was designed to cope with a maximum of 1,000 tonnes (1,100 tons) of ammunition a day.[7] The narrow gauge trucks would descend from the platform to the tunnel, where a heavy-duty conveyor belt would propel the ammunition directly to the appropriate storage gallery. At any given time the depot was either taking in ammunition or sending it out, never both simultaneously. The construction design meant that an explosive accident or detonation inside any one of the stores would not propagate throughout the ammunition storehouse. The conveyor belt, and the original cable-way used as a temporary installation while the tunnel was being built, ran continuously for 30 days in the run-up to D-Day.[7] CAD Monkton Farleigh closed at the end of hostilities, although was kept in an operational condition until the 1950s. The sidings were then cleared, and not used again until the mid-1980s when a museum opened for a short period on the site. Today the north end of the tunnel is sealed by a concrete and rubble installation, while the former mine/CAD is used for secure commercial document storage.[7] From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Langdon Barracks Shelter, Langdon Cliffs





These caves are located behind the demolished warders house at the former Langdon Prison and Barracks. The date of these caves is unknown, they could possibly be World War 1 for sheltering from the German zeppelin bombing.



But they could also have been built in World War two, for sheltering from shelling from the Gun Batteries of German Occupied France.



The tunnel is a common layout, two entrances, and a centre point where they could have bunks and chairs. In my opinion its not a deep shelter, so a direct hit would be bad.

Langdon Battery Observation Post





Langdon Battery Observation Post located on the White Cliffs of Dover.



This location was a observation post (look out) for Langdon Battery which today is the Dover coastguard station.



A brick lined and unlined tunnel links the battery to the OP on the cliff face. The tunnel is blocked half way with what seems to be meter think of concrete and steel.



This video shows you inside the OP and what remains today.
