Branston Hall Sanatorium

Branston Hall Hospital c1965
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

Invited to the Hall at turn of Year for a 'Cocktail-Party' as escort to a Nurse on Staff, the setting was magnificent and memorable!  Moreover, the event and hospitality could not have been bettered for the lit exterior equalled the warmth of the interior....some of the old character of the building came alive that night!
Consequent to this, I returned to Branston Hall a few days later to see my Lady and a courtship developed making me travel seven miles as the crow flies from RAF Waddington, regularly, on foot! We married late 1959 and will celebrate 50 wonderful years in '2009' perhaps returning to that place and grounds we often think of fondly?    Branston folk were always kind and friendly to us also during
our walks around the area.

RE: RE: Branston Hall Sanatorium

I was in Branston with TB for 9 months.  I had to lie out in the open and remember making a den in the wood that was in the field and a girl called June Rimmer?  The worst thing was the death of friends.  I was taken to my home in an ambulance as they thought I was dying.  (I now weigh 16 stone----].
Regards to any past inmates.
