| 4: | The Interior Of Bethlem Hospital, Urbane Metcalf, 1818 AD English insane asylums for over 100 years. (The Interior Of Bethlem Hospital, Urbane Metcalf, 1818 AD) "In 1815 Bethlem Hospital moved premises from Moorfields, its home since 1676, to St George's Fields, Southwark. The committee of 1815 questioned employees of the hospital over the move, clearly concerned about the possibility of improved conditions once installed in the new buildings.
