When I was serving my time as a joiner I worked in Whalley just down the road from Calderstones, some of the staff actually worked on the site part time on their days of, and some of the tales we used to hear were terrible. There was one patient who had a mania for breaking those cast iron grate covers and eating them, he was rushed into hospital on a few occasions due to this, the only way they stopped him was they made one out of wood and when he couldn't break it, it put him off

I once went to the Regent's Park Zoo in London back in 1979 and there were about 4 blokes with those padded protection helmets similar to what boxers wear - but these people were obviously out on a day trip from some kind of mental hospital, the padding to stop them hitting the floor with their heads should they fall or have a fit or something. I'm not joking but it's unfortunate that some people are born unable to stop themselves from hurting themselves.
