This article discusses the Admission and Treatment Unit at Fair Mile Hospital, in Cholsey, near Wallingford, Berkshire (now Oxfordshire). This was the first new hospital to be completed in England following the launch of the National Health Service. The building was designed by Powell and Moya, one of the most important post-war English architectural practices, and was completed in 1956, but demolished in 2003. The article relates the commission of the building to landmark policy changes and argues for its historic significance in the context of the NHS and of the evolution of mental health care models and policies. It also argues for the need for further study of those early NHS facilities in view of current developments in mental health provision.

超越庇护所和“社区护理”模式之前：探索被忽视的早期 NHS 精神卫生机构

本文讨论位于伯克郡沃灵福德（现牛津郡）附近乔尔西的 Fair Mile 医院的入院和治疗部门。这是英国国家医疗服务体系启动后第一家落成的新医院。该建筑由鲍威尔和莫亚设计，是英国战后最重要的建筑实践之一，于 1956 年竣工，但于 2003 年被拆除。文章将该建筑的委托与具有里程碑意义的政策变化联系起来，并论证了其历史意义在 NHS 以及精神卫生保健模式和政策的演变的背景下。它还认为，鉴于当前心理健康服务的发展，有必要对这些早期的 NHS 设施进行进一步研究。
