St Luke’s Hospital for Lunatics

St Luke’s Hospital for Lunatics was founded in London in 1751 for the treatment of incurable pauper lunatics by a group of philanthropists.

St Lukes Hospital for Lunatics, London

It was London’s second public institution in London created to look after mentally ill people, after the Hospital of St Mary of Bethlem (Bedlam), founded in 1246.

In 1786 the hospital moved to purpose-built premises on Old Street, between Bath St and what is now the Old Street Roundabout. The building had a magnificent frontage of brick, 500 feet long and had a central entrance, with the male wards to the left and female wards to the right.

There wered single cells for 300 patients, each with small windows set high in the wall.

All patients were transferred in 1916, and the buildings were acquired by the Bank of England to become the St Luke’s Printing Works, used for printing bank notess. The building was demolished in 1963.

TUM image id: 1627419399 Licence:	The northern edge of Tudor London (1520) Moorgate was an old gate in London’s city wall, situated to the west of where the River Walbrook - a long lost river of London - crossed into the city. The Walbrook ran between the two main hills of the city: Ludgate Hill to the west and Cornhill to the east. It rose in the Shoreditch area and flowed into the Thames. By Tudor times, the Walbrook had been culverted within the city but still ran in open country outside the wall. After the river crossed London Wall and flowed into the City, it was bricked over since it had long since turned into a sewer there. Outside the London Wall, the open Walbrook would regularly flood the low-lying area to the north making building difficult. William Fitzstephen described the "great fen which washed against the northern wall of the City". So whereas London slowly spread to the west and the east, the marshy conditions of Moorfields hindered urbanisation to the north. The marsh covered much of the Manor of Finsbury - the name of the district immediately to the north of the city of London whose placename "Finsbury" derives from the word "fen". London’s Wall seems to have acted as a dam, restricting the flow of the river and adding to the area of marshland. As the Walbrook north of the wall was culverted in time, this slowly opened up the hitherto marshy land for building. None of Moorfields remains now - lending its name to the eye hospital and little else. Credit: Historic Towns Trust/Col.

Crondall Street is one of the older streets of the Somers Town area. As Gloucester Street it had already appeared on Rocque’s 1750s map. By the time of the 1830 map, New Gloucester Street extended it westwards. The NW1 area has many other examples of this building style.

Unsurprisingly the street name derives from an ancient Jewish burial ground. Jewin Street was widened after the 1897 fire. TUM image id: 1671738816 Licence: CC BY 2.0
