It Sure Brought Back Memories

A Memory of Mickleover.

My mother was the senior assistant matron at the pastures as it used to be called and we actually lived at the hospital at the lodge. I was born and lived there until I got married, but still spent many hours at the hospital lodge house as my parents lived there until they retired. My dad left me both movie and photos of the pastures hospital which I still have. I was going to destroy them but after going through this site I decided not to. There are films of all the wards as they were and of the yearly sports days - how it has changed. I haven't been back up to Mickleover since my husband died, but my own son who was also born when I lived at the lodge does still visit Mickleover and the old hospital.
