EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1938, offering a glimpse into the kitchen at Banstead Mental Hospital in Sutton, Surrey. The image showcases a scene filled with bustling activity as staff members diligently work amidst an array of kitchen equipment. The monochrome tones lend a timeless quality to this snapshot from the past, allowing us to appreciate the historical significance of this moment. It serves as a poignant reminder of how mental health care was approached during that era. Banstead Mental Hospital was under the administration of London County Council and Greater London Council (GLC) at that time. This photograph is part of Guildhall Library and Art Gallery's collection, preserved by their dedicated team for future generations to explore. As we observe this image, it becomes evident that every detail has been carefully captured - from the neatly arranged utensils on shelves to the focused expressions on individuals' faces. The composition offers insight into both the practicality and camaraderie within these hospital walls. While we may not know who specifically took this photograph or its intended purpose beyond documenting history, it stands as a testament to our collective journey in understanding mental health care throughout different periods.
