Severalls hospital 'Madness in its place' interview papers

[Ellis]

Hello All,

Stumbled across this http://www.esds.ac.uk/doc/4890\mrdoc\pdf\q4890uguide.pdf

an interview with Diana the student who researched and wrote Madness in its place about Severalls. It's an interesting read and brings to life the people that Severalls was once home to.

A good read after the book

I'm trying to find the book at a reasonable price to purchase - my library doesn't have one either.

Wouldn't mind finding this book, imagine its a good read. Though I haven't visited Severalls yet.

Yeah I think it would be a good read, after reading the papers and one lady she interviewed strangled nurses. Severalls is on my to do list very soon.

Thanks for posting that buddy.

Although probably shouldn't be in location reports, I have come back after reading that and must thank you really want to check Severalls out now!

Yeah I was undecided, but thought more people would see it here as its pretty interesting.

Just moved it to 'Reference material'
I'm luck enough to have a hard copy, fantastic read before or after a sevs visit!

Anyone know of anything like this based around West Park? It's the only 'big' asylum I've ever visited and I'd love to read more about it.
