Meeting The Nurses at Princess Christian College
One way to meet the lovely nursery nurses who trained at the nearby Princess Christian College was to accompany them as they took their young charges out for walks to the shops or Platt Fields. I was the social secretary for my Hall of Residence from 1967-1969 so I had responsibility for getting the girls invited to our all-male Hall functions!
I remember this row of shops and going in a sweet shop here with one of the nurses and a toddler in tow who misbehaved. The shopkeeper asked it it was our child and we both said certainly not! The little kid was quite upset. Happier outings took place to parties in the college in Wilbraham Road where I met a lovely nurse called Rosemary. We did a lot together for more than a year and it was a sad parting when she "graduated" and left.

RE: RE: Meeting The Nurses at Princess Christian College
I am really interested to know if the College still exists and if they have records of children boarded there. My mother Phyliss Minnie Boardman spent time at Princess Christian nursery after her mother died 3 weeks in 1911 after giving birth to her. Her father (my grandfather) went off to Canada soon after.
