Collection of records given to a local Oxfam shop.
They each carried security stickers bearing the legend:
‘NHS Security Seal, Ashworth High Secure Hospital’.
These records belonged to the Ceramic Hobs drummer from the 80s and 90s who was incarcerated in Ashworth for a few years in the '00s, not going through the criminal justice system but rather through being a difficult detainee in inpatient mental health care.
ReplyDeleteHello Simon
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comment. I was hoping that the post might lead to somekind of identification. The cds were bought, and have remained as, a collection. As such, they can be returned to the owner in question if necessary.
Hi James, I'm sure Steve will have willingly given them away himself or passed them onto a fellow patient or maybe a nurse which is how you somehow ended up with them. Quite a find with the bizarre and sinister security seal though. Your blog is very interesting.
