  • The Secret World of Victorian Broadmoor exhibition

    Just seen this on the BBC web site -

    BBC NEWS | England | Berkshire | Victorian asylum secrets revealed

    With further info here -

    Keep up to date with the Berkshire Record Office

    With an article to write on mental health and the lunatic asylums for the January issue, I think I might pay the museum a visit

        OH's great grandad died there in 1916, though I don't know when he was sent there.

          One of my Broomfields was there as well. I assume they haven't put the index on the internet?

            It doesn't seem so Phoenix, although the records are available through the RO.

                    Peppie!

                    Well, I can do the exhibition Saturday after next, but the RO will have to wait I think. I hope we have an inset day soon that I don't have to go to.
