Hi, do you remember a little dark haired lad called David John Moore? He was nicknamed DJ because there was another David John on the ward.

The Walled Garden was at the front of the hospital entrance, next to the church. It’s still there!

I now live directly opposite the Old Hall on that new housing estate. I’m shocked at how neglected the site is now and to see the pictures inside the hall just makes me even more sad. As a building, the Old Hall has an impressive history which is sadly crumbling. I hear it is now doomed to become luxury apartments!!

Gosh finding this site brought back some memories! I was a nursery nurse there from 1974 – 76 on a newly established childrens ward M3 or Puffin House. We had fifteen children and five to six staff but also worked on F7 where we had 28 children in one dormitory. we sometimes had only four staff. The only positive was compulsary schooling so the children got out each day. I have lots of memories of working with Jane ? Clare Stibbard, (still friends) riotous parties at the social club, the nurse who brought home a very tall blonde German guy from a beer festival and we kept him in the nurses home for quite a while! The worry of a prowler who had keys to the wards and the nursing officers who used to visit wards at night on a bicycle. the charge nurse who went fishing in the lake one night and used the ward keys to weight the line, needless to say they sank and were lost. Yes lots of great stories but a sad way for indivduals to live. Four kids later I live in Aus, run my own disability planning consultancy and help ensure people have great lives in the community
