Jenny Lind Hospital

A Memory of Norwich.

I was admitted to this children's hospital in the winter of 1961 aged 5 years, with acute asthma. I remember clearly a green bathroom with lots of hot water pipes and being bathed twice in a morning as I daren`t tell the second bath nurse I had already been bathed that day! I remember my mother bringing a new pair of coffee and cream shoes for me to wear to go home at the end of my stay. I also remember on my subsequent physio appointments twice weekly, playing on a large rocking horse in the main hall.
