Hidden Now Heard Exhibition at Swansea Museum
Description
Photograph of part of the Hidden Now Heard Exhibition at Swansea Museum about Hensol Castle Hospital. In this photograph you can see replcated racks where residents' clothing and food supplies would have been stored. Flawed systems in the hospitals often meant that in the earlier years of their operation, residents had communal clothing and very few (or no) personal belongings. As times and attitudes progressed, staff began to empower residents to buy and label their own clothes and belongings in order to give them their own sense of individuality.
