Well what a wonderful time we've had in the Museum this afternoon. Lots of lovely crafting to commemorate #WMHD24. Take a look at some of the beautiful pencil cases and bookmarks our visitors made 🤩 Thanks to everyone who came and got involved!

#MHM50 week 42: Administration at #StanleyRoyd was important. Doctors thought recording personal histories, treatments & outcomes of patients would help identify causes of different mental health conditions. Machines like typewriters & computators were used to document daily life

#MHM50 week 43: dried frog. Traditional remedies often rely on the supernatural and natural world. Folklorist Edward Lovett describes the practice of wearing a dried (or alive!) frog in a bag around the neck to cure headaches, melancholy (depression) and to keep away fits.

#MHM50 week 44: Man mirror. We think this mirror was created at #WRA, presumably by a patient. Similar style mirrors of a male figure, head in hands, legs crossed & wearing traditional folk clothing were sometimes used as witching or scrying mirrors. Our man mirror is a mystery!
