Bridge Home Medical

A Memory of Witham.

I was born in Chelmsford in 1956. My mother, Dr Joy Stuart Morton, was the medical practitioner at Bridge Home from 1957 (I think) until 1960. We lived in Avenue Road and sometimes the patients would come and help in the garden. She was an amazing woman and she was only in her early thirties when she had this huge responsibility.
She was tiny and often talked about the large male security nurse who used to accompany her on her rounds.
