Fair Mile was more than just a psychiatric hospital; it was an
example of a nationwide network of 'pauper lunatic asylums', born
of responsible Victorian legislation and compassion for the
disadvantaged. It was a secure home to many of its patients and
staff, and the community within its walls became an integral part
of Cholsey, touching almost every household in the area. Drawing on
county records, first-hand accounts and archive photographs, Fair
Mile Hospital describes the ethos of the Victorian asylum builders
and the development of the facility that treated thousands of
patients over four generations. Relating changes in practice and
personnel, and the difficulties of two world wars, this is a unique
account of a hospital that did its utmost for those in its care.
