Working At Oldchurch Hospital

A Memory of Romford.

I started training to be a nurse at Oldchurch in 1968, I made great friends with Joy Webb and Janet Knox. I remember the tuck shop across the road where I would have to go on pay day to pay off my debts. All the nurses had an account with the owner, oh I wish I could remember his name. I lived in the nursing home for 3 years. Every week a bus would take us to the American Air Force base in Braintree. I had a great time working in the hospital. I have a lot of memories...those were great days. Going to Romford market (I loved that place) with great deals for a student nurse.
