Thinking about the worshippers
The Glenside mental health hospital was founded with a determined effort to provide the best of contemporary treatments. Among the new approaches to mentally ill people in Victorian times, this chapel was built with care. The many stained glass windows all portrayed positive and uplifting scenes, such as the healing of the lame, and happier stories from the Bible. However, this panel on the left simply shows and idyllic landscape without any religious connection - a rare occurrence in churches.

A place of quiet contemplation in a mad world
Bristol's growing population in the Victorian era was crying out for better medical health provisions. The old St Peter's Hospice in the city centre was already antiquated and inadequate well before a new and larger site was chosen for a new hospital. Along with it came a new approach to mental health and so the Bristol Lunatic Asylum was built here at Glenside in the north of the city in 1861. Shortly after, this chapel was founded at the southeast of the grounds in 1881 and apart from the main buildings. The bright sunlight makes the distinctive copper-clad spire look almost white, whereas it is actually verdigris.
The site is now part of the U.W.E. teaching facility and the chapel is home to the museum, containing lots of items and information about the old history of mental health treatment.

Closed doors to a closed pub
The Old Tavern had a long history in the business but has fallen on hard times now. The gig fly posting hardly revives the appearance.
