Hi,

It looks as if the Borthwick Institute holds records, listed at
http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/accessions/1995/95returns/95ac193.htm
and there's a bit about the hospital here:

As Barbara says the records are at the Borthwick and the files may even include photos.

The asylum became known as Clifton Hospital and finally closed in 1994 - further info can be found at:

http://www.yorkstories.co.uk/york_walks-3/clifton_hospital.htm

There was a chapel on the site but not sure if there were burials there.  Would think burials most likely to have been at York cemetery.

Hi Jan

Thanks for the website countyasylums.com.  There were lots of photos of De La Pole Asylum in Hull, where one of my ancestors was an in-patient for 6 weeks.

They built some gorgeous buildings back then, what a contrast with the newer monstrosities built later and now, aesthetics ain't what they used to be!
