For the benefit of patients and staff at the former Royal Albert Hospital a large Victorian mental institution. Nearby buildings and fields were once a farm where patients grew food (and looked after animals - a therapeutic practice which carried on into the 1990s). This aspect of Victorian care seems relatively benign and enlightened.
