On the 28 & 29th November the Friends of Willow Court are holding an event “Stories from the Asylum” to mark the 20th anniversary of the closure of Willow Court.
The event will include guest speakers, stories, biographies about former convict patients, and stories from former staff, poetry readings, music, and a display of bonnets to commemorate the female convicts who were at the Asylum/Hospital at the time.
The Friends of Willow Court would like to know the stories behind the names of the female convict women, and then have this information as part of the display, but we need help researching this information.
If you’re interested in helping with this research please contact friendsofwillowcourt@gmail.com
More information about the weekend will be out soon.
