Long Stays at Hesswall

Childrens Hospital c1965
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

Hello everybody, so glad to find this page. My name was Anne-Marie Evers and I was in Hesswall Hospital throughout the 1970s but I remember a long stay in 1976. I was in Holbeck Ward [Ithink it was called]. I had very bad asthma and was often admitted to Myrtle Street Childrens Hospital in Liverpool then sent to convalesce in Hesswall. It was a lovely hospital with huge grounds and a steamroller and other things to play on. I remember the little school in the hospital and I enjoyed being there but I do wonder why the half year long stays were needed. My best friend was a little girl called Sarah Steele who sadly died. I remember Dr Daz and his son Ankor who used to play with the children in the grounds while his dad was on duty. Happy memories and I can still remember Sister Youds on my ward. I would love to hear from anyone who remembers this time.....x
