Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

In 1958 I was a bricklayer working for Sargents of Bracknell, we were putting bathrooms on staff houses at The Terrace at Broadmoor. We could not work because of bad weather and I saw the Broadmoor staff going to work all wrapped in warm clothes so I went over and applied for a job. The man on the gate said "Can you fight?". I said I could hold my own. I got the job. I did 3 years as a pupil nurse then became a registered nurse for a further 7 years, when I left and brought my family to Australia. I enjoyed my 10 years at Broadmoor and made many friends and would love to hear from any of them.
