Essex County Lunatic Asylum
Admissions Register
Name: Christopher Easterling
Date of Admission 8 Oct 1891
Asylum Essex
Date of discharge 19 Dec 1916
Died yes

The Essex County Asylum (now Warley Hospital) was the first County Asylum to be built within Essex. The building was designed on a corridor plan and of a Tudor style, the buildings occupied an area of 8 acres
The hospital underwent a number of extensions throughout its lifetime
1888 saw the next major building project, with the construction of an entirely new block seeing the number of beds be increased by approximately 450 beds, bring the total population to nearly 1200 patients. This new block reverted to the same style plan as the original block, and ignoring the plan of the newer blocks. With the opening of this block, all the male patients were relocated to it, leaving the main block to house only female patients
Improvements continued through until the end of the 19th century, with two new wings and an infirmary being added to the 1870 block
By the turn of the century, the population had risen to 1999 patients.
But the improvement work to the hospital did not stop, with new kitchens being opened in 1910 and one year later, the hospital being connected to the National Telephone Network.

Family tradition has it that Harriet Easterling left England as a 21 year old.
She arrived in Wellington, New Zealand when she was 23 years old, so had stopped off somewhere en-route. It is not known what ship she left England on, or arrived in Wellington on.
