Fond Memories of my Stay at Heswall Hospital

I was sent to the hospital from Liverpool Myrtle Street Hospital some time in the late 1940s or 1950 and I was in Holbrook Gaskel ward for about 3 months. I remember a Nurse Smith who was very kind to me. I used to watch out of the window for my parents coming to visit me on Sundays and we would walk in the grounds and look over at the River Dee, it was a lovely place and my father always promised to take me to the river one day which sadly he never did, but I went myself when I was older. One thing I remember is that every afternoon at about 3.30 we were given slices of bread and jam and a choice of juice or milk from a trolley (something you don't see any more in hospitals, just cups of plastic warm drinks from a machine). I was very happy there and have lovely warm memories of the place.
