Sheriff Hill Lunatic Asylum
Sheriff Hill Lunatic Asylum (also known as Gateshead Fell Lunatic Asylum) was located at Sourmilk Hill in Sheriff Hill, Gateshead, Tyne and Wear. At that time Sourmilk Hill Lane continued across Church Road and onto what is today Larne Crescent, the asylum occupied the land on the corner of modern day Larne Crescent and Church Road. It operated during the nineteenth century and provided isolation and medical care to hundreds of patients at a time when disease and illness in England were treated predominantly through isolation and asylum.〔Carlton, 1974: 55〕 At least two patients escaped from the institution, which closed around 1880.
== Conception and opening ==
Sheriff Hill Lunatic Asylum was situated on Sour Milk Hill Lane, Sheriff Hill, during the nineteenth century.〔Manders, 1973: 241〕 Wesleyan records circa 1830 note that "Sheriff Hill Lunatic Asylum is pleasantly situated on an ninence, about two-and-a-half miles south of Gateshead, from which a fine aspect of Ravensworth and its vicinity may be obtained".〔Manders, 1973: 242〕The old site of Sheriff Hill Asylum lies dormant today. Surviving archive photographs show that the asylum was designed in a rough square, with buildings on all four sides enclosing a courtyard.〔Available at Gateshead Council's public archives at (I-See Gateshead )〕 The exact date of opening remains the subject to debate. Contemporary sources indicate that the asylum opened in 1817,〔Roberts, 2001 This database is a resource maintained by Andrew Roberts, a professional academic at the University of Middlesex (retrieved 18 March 2011)〕 yet others note that when the asylum was advertised in 1834 the posting revealed that "this institution has been established for over thirty years".〔This advertisement from the Newcastle Evening Chronicle (dated 13 June 1834) has been retained, in original form, in the third of four books of scraps at Gateshead Central Library.〕
