Preston Royal Infirmary (Maternity)

A Memory of Preston.

My mother was a midwife sister during the 1940s and early 1950s at the old PRI. She must have delivered lots of babies from the area during this time. There was once a photo of her in the LEP with 3 babies born on Christmas Day.
She was also in charge of the Premature Baby Unit there. She went on to nurse at Mount Street Hospital. Her name was Nurse/Staff/Sister Savage.
My own son was born there. I had a lengthy stay there myself in Alice Ward late 1960s and went on to Lostock Hall Continuation Hospital (now St Catherine's Hospice). I loved this old hospital - there always seemed to be loads of nurses on the wards, also ward cleaners. I was sad when it closed.
