This print captures a moment in time at Ely Hospital in Cardiff, where nine mural panels painted by London artist David Bratby adorn the walls of the recreation hall. The murals depict both residents and staff engaged in popular activities, showcasing the vibrant spirit of this unique community. What makes these murals truly special is that they were created with varying degrees of involvement from both staff and residents themselves. This collaborative effort adds an extra layer of authenticity and personal connection to the artwork. In this particular image, taken on May 3rd, 1985, we see a group of hospital residents gathered in the recreation hall alongside some of the stunning mural panels. Their faces radiate joy as they admire their collective masterpiece. It's evident that these artworks have become an integral part of their daily lives, bringing color and inspiration to their surroundings. The photograph not only offers a glimpse into life at Ely Hospital during the 1980s but also serves as a testament to the power of art in fostering community engagement and well-being. These murals undoubtedly provided solace, entertainment, and pride for all who called Ely Hospital home. Preserved through Alan Grist's lens and now available as a timeless print from Memory Lane Prints, this image invites us to appreciate the beauty that can be found within even challenging circumstances.
