More about this scene

The Royal Liverpool Children's Hospital has closed since this photograph was taken. The site is now occupied by a supermarket, which may or may not have greater social benefit, and sick children are catered for at Arrowe Park Hospital, with the reassuring backup of Alder Hey in Liverpool. One can imagine that the group in the lower left of our picture is one of farewell after a short stay. The appropriately dressed Sister speaks reassuringly to mother, with an older relative (grandmother?) providing support and TLC.

Heswall, Royal Liverpool Children's Hospital
I,ve lived in Irby in my early years in a prefab, temp housing after the war. I had a accident and went to Heswall hospital by milk float as we had no car or phone in those days. My memory was the open or charity days I think with a plane in the open grounds and we used to play on it, health and safety would be all over it nowadays. My sister and I used to go carol singing in Heswall ...see more

F.A.O All Nurses Who Worked On H.O.T Ward In The 70''s!
I have just found a photograph with the names, Denise O'Gorman and Marie Lafferty H.O.T ward Heswell Oct 1970 on the back. I believe my late mum was a nurse in this hospital in the 70's! I am looking for friends of hers. Her name was Patricia Gray and Stephenson when she married. Would really appreciate it if anybody could share any memories of her as unfortunately I don't remember her as I was a baby when she died.
