Moston Hospital was a military US facility which transferred to the NHS and became an innovative psychiatric unit, and outpost of the old Deva Asylum. Moston introduced mixed wards, mother and baby unit, day hospital, adolescent unit and specialist addiction unit well before the rest of the NHS. LSD was experimented with in the sixties, and the much-maligned Aversion Therapy for homosexuality. It closed in 1982, but the innovative ideas live on.
