Caernarvonshire & Anglesey Hospital

RE: RE: Caernarvonshire & Anglesey Hospital

Hello Delphine.....I too have many memories of the C&A Hospital. My mother, father and other family members were all patients there at one time or another. I can remember being taken there as a child, hoping that the sister in charge of the ward would allow me in briefly to see my relatives (children were discouraged from visiting for too long). My mother spent several periods in there because of a renal disorder and often spoke about her surgeon with much fondness. I think he and his wife were eventually killed in a plane crash. Would you perhaps remember his name? Think he was called Mr Oliver. Mam also spoke a lot about a nurse called Tudno.

I left Anglesey in 1976 in order to start my nurse training at St. Bartholomews Hospital in London. I'd been exposed so much to C&A Hosp, as well as St. Davids Hosp just a little further away, that it was almost inevitable I would want to don my own nurses uniform!

I occasionally return to Anglesey to visit older relatives. Have passed the old C&A site a number of times. Yes, its now a Morrisons Supermarket. Oh, where have the years gone!
