If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

i was a patient in Sully hospital in 1953 aged 6yrs when it was a TB isolation hospital. I had a lobectomy and spent 9 months there and was there during the Coronation and it was the first time I saw a television set. Now I am a very fit 68 yr old and I owe my life to the surgeon and staff who operated on me! Carol Johnston
I started work as a nursing assistant at Sully Hospital on November 11 1974. I later went on to undertake nurse training in 1977. I returned to work at Sully for a couple of years in the early 1980s. I am now a District Nursing sister based in Ely Cardiff.
My mother Edith Templeman as a child seems to remember two black soldiers being hung for the rape of a local church organist during the Second World War, does anyone know if this was true?
I was a teenage patient in Sully for six months. Now I am writing my own memoirs of this time and would appreciate hearing from other ex-patients. My email address is: annshaw@mac.com
