Banstead Lunatic Asylum

[forester]

Rich,

I would guess that they are memorial plaques, possibly to the staff. There is one listed on UKNIWM for the 1st World War, but it is catalogued as lost. Maybe it has since been found. If I remember rightly Downview incorporated the few remaining original buildings, maybe they were tucked away in there.

i can confirm that they are not plaques listing prison staff, prehaps staff of the hospital, but i will try to find out exactly what they are, and who is listed on them.

Rich,

If you could please, that would be much appreciated. I am working on another lost memorial (church in S E London) at the moment.
