Happy Days?

A Memory of Heswall.

I was in Heswall Childrens Hospital from 1968 to 1969. I have mixed memories. I was very homesick - I was 11- and only one of the night nurses showed any caring - all the others either ignored me or told me to pull myself together. Having said that, I attended the hospital school - taught by mr smith who had magnificent beard! He directed the christmas concert for parents which was one of my better memories!! The lancaster bomber in grounds was also a delight! I suppose all things considered, it could have been worse being the 60's - but it would be much better in the 21st century - no White coats and nurses uniforms to intimidate both children and parents for a start!
