Dr John Conolly and the former Hanwell Asylum receive English Heritage blue plaque
Dr John Conolly (1794-1866) and the former Hanwell Asylum have been commemorated with a blue plaque, English Heritage announced today (12 May 2022). The plaque is situated on what was the left-hand wing in Conolly’s time and is now part of St Bernard’s Hospital. It was here that Conolly, a supporter of the asylum system as a means of care and cure, made his influential contribution to transforming the care of people who had been hospitalised with mental health problems, advocating a system of ‘non-restraint’, which dispensed with the handcuffs, leg irons, and strait jackets regularly used in most asylums at that time.
