c h howell (1824-1905)
Before GT Hine's emergence as a specialist asylum architect, the leading role in this area during the 1870s and 1880s
had been played by CH Howell, who - like Hine after him - was Consulting Architect to the
Commissioners in Lunacy. His completed asylum schemes included Brookwood, Cholsey and Cane Hill, the last developing a radiating pattern
for the pavillion blocks. Between 1886 and 1897, Howell was assessor for no less than seven large asylum competitions,
and there was some professional disquiet that Giles, Gough & Trollope or GT Hine always seemed
to receive the first two premiums - with the result that any new ideas on asylum design were being stultified.

g t hine (1842-1916)
Son of T.C.Hine of Nottingham, with whom he was in partnership up to 1891.
In 1887, after winning the competition for the enormous new LCC (London
County Council) at Claybury, Essex, he established his practise in London.
Hine specialized in asylum architecture, and his paper to the RIBA in 1901
still provides a valuable review of asylum design and planning. This was
strengthened by his experience as Consulting Architect to the Commissioners
in Lunacy - a post which he held from 1897. He was a frequent entrant for
asylum competitions, winning his first, for Nottingham Asylum in 1875.
During the 1880s and 1890s he entered ten asylum competitions - winning
five - and was assessor for four others. He designed and saw completed four
major LCC asylums housing over 2000 patients each (Claybury, Bexley, Horton
and Long Grove), and his prolific output included new county asylums for
Hertfordshire, Lincolnshire, Surrey, East Sussex and Worcestershire, as well
as extensive additions to many others. His concentration on this one
building type reflected his own perception of asylum architecture as an
"almost distinct profession in itself".
