Rainhill Hospital was a very large lunatic asylum in Rainhill, Merseyside. It was known as the Lancashire County Asylum from 1851 to 1861, the County Lunatic Asylum, Rainhill (c.1861 - 1923), the County Mental Hospital, Rainhill (1923 - c.1948) and Rainhill Mental Hospital until it closed in 1991.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/hospitalrecords/details.asp?id=629&page=47 )〕 In 1936 there were 3,000 inmates, and it was said to be the largest mental hospital in Europe. It was the site of the Great Porridge Strike on 6 April 1913 when the staff, members of the National Asylum Workers' Union, went on strike when meat was replaced by oatmeal porridge.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.past-tense.org.uk/ )〕 ==See also== *Lancaster Moor Hospital, the first Lancashire County Asylum *Whittingham Hospital, the fourth Lancashire County Asylum 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rainhill Hospital」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
