World Cup And Roffey

A Memory of Horsham.

Was a patient for six weeks in summer of 1966. World cup celebration times (England won it that year) and sunshine though I was sad then.
An amazing mix of patients; from young people (including me) to professional people, business and pilots. Met some very pleasant female patients there also. But never kept in contact, pity as shared experience would have been supportive. Great Doctors; mine was Dr Aminoff: I owe him a lot. And the art therapy teacher (I forgot her name) she was very encouraging. Some of the other patients had a lot of humour, which helped my life there!
Lovely grounds and gardens and the corn/barley fields of yellow stretching to the distance. All in all, 1966 was a good year, leading to personal freedom and abandon spirit.

A great shame (Thatcher era) closed this fine and useful facility down; it did a good service for many people.
