EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph captures the Langho Colony, a remarkable institution established in 1906 by the Chorlton and Manchester Unions to provide treatment for patients suffering from epilepsy. Situated on a sprawling 166-acre estate in the picturesque Ribblesdale valley of Lancashire, the colony was easily accessible via the Clitheroe to Preston Road, as indicated by the road running along the bottom edge of the image. At the time, epilepsy was poorly understood, and those afflicted were often stigmatized and isolated due to societal misconceptions and the associated poverty and illness. The Langho Colony aimed to provide a sanctuary where patients could receive specialized medical care and live in a supportive, rural environment. The image reveals the meticulously planned layout of the colony, with neat rows of housing units, expansive fields, and a central building complex. The Edwardian-era Langho Colony was a pioneering effort in the history of epileptic care, offering a stark contrast to the often deplorable conditions faced by those suffering from the disease during this period. The colony's idyllic setting among the rolling hills of Lancashire provided a sense of tranquility and hope for its residents, offering them a chance to live with dignity and receive the care they deserved. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing a poignant reminder of the compassionate efforts made to improve the lives of those with epilepsy during a time when they were often overlooked and misunderstood. The Langho Colony stands as a testament to the power of community and the importance of providing specialized care for those in need.
