Alexander Hospital.
A Memory of Luton.
I was in Alexander Hospital as a boy of 8 years old with medical problems. I can recall a Mr Hammonds came every week to take some of us to the local church service. I also remember the teacher Miss Latter who came to teach us, she had an old Austin car. A man came each week on his motorbike and ran a boys cubs group. On one occasion we were taken somewhere along a road to watch a lot of men running. I later learnt it was the marathon in the 1948 Olympic games. I recall being disgusted at some of the runners spitting on the road to clear their throats. I understand the hospital that was situated in the Alexander Park was demolished. Whereas I didn't enjoy being so far away from my home at BigginHill Kent, the grounds were large and beautiful. Ray Marks.
