| Title | Photograph. Pre-Agency description: Mental Handicap, Lexden Hall, Turner Village Hospital, Colchester, Essex "The two women in this photograph are completely institutionalised. They were admitted to hospital as young women under the 1933 CYPA as 'morally defective' - a category that netted thousands of unmarried mothers. Here they are in the old laundry - just as a I found them - suspended, belonging to another age and time. This is NOT a posed picture." |
