EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the facade of the Inebriates Home in Langho, Lancashire, a place of hope and healing for women struggling with alcohol addiction in the early 20th century. Established around 1912, this institution was one of several charitable organizations in Lancashire dedicated to providing care and support for those afflicted by alcoholism. The Inebriates Home at Langho was unique in its focus on female patients, a reflection of the gendered nature of social welfare services during this era. The building, now known as Brockhall Hospital, exudes a sense of quiet dignity and resilience. Its red-brick exterior, adorned with intricate stonework and tall, arched windows, speaks to a time when community care and compassionate treatment were the cornerstones of addressing social issues. The tranquil surroundings, nestled in the rolling hills of Lancashire, would have provided a sanctuary for the women who sought refuge within its walls. The Inebriates Home at Langho represents an important chapter in the history of addiction treatment and social welfare in Lancashire. It serves as a reminder of the courage and determination of those who sought help during a time when stigma and shame often kept people from seeking the care they needed. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to reflect on the progress made in understanding and addressing addiction and to honor the resilience of those who have struggled with it.
