Shared an update: Staffordshire Archives and Heritage, alongside partners the Wellcome Trust, are carrying out a project to shed light upon the history of Staffordshire’s three County Asylums; Stafford (opened in 1818), Burntwood (1864) and Cheddleton (1899). The research goes down to patient-level; in this piece, Edward Sillito looks at Phoebe Darby, originally of West Bromwich, but eventually found herself in the Asylum at Stafford (@stafford-staffordshire-england-st16-3).
