1958/9 In Patient

A Memory of Bursledon.

We lived in Winchester at the time . I remember being at this hospital as a small child around 1958/9 Suspect of TB . My father had been convalescing from TB and when he was able, he would visit me , I don't remember my mother coming, but I guess she had to see to my two other sisters. For some reason I can remember a room with great big jars of sweets on shelves. Or it could of been a pharmacy ! I must of shared a room with quite a few beds in, I can remember my dad giving me a little green plastic shopping bag with a bag of Toffee Crunch in. I offered the sweets to the boy in the next bed to myself. The day I was discharged, my Mother & Father had bought me a special Red dress to wear home, which was always known as the Hospital Dress.
