Patient At Grosvenor Sanatorium

A Memory of Kennington.

I was a patient at Grosvenor Sanatorium from 1941 - 1943. I was 19 and  recovering from TB with many other patients. Despite our illness they were happy times. We produced and starred in our own concerts. We had our own radio station operated by us and we took requests for songs. I am 82 years old now and living in Australia. I have just been looking at some photos taken from this time that I have.  We used to go for walks around the grounds as we were getting better. We were also given a little red book when we left, signed by all the staff and patients. Some names that are in it include, Joan, Rusty, Irene, Betty, Joyce, Olive, Doris, Bobby, Trudy, Daphne, Agnes, Maryanne, Sheila, Winnie, Sheila, Winnie, Mary and Marie. I hope someone else or someone's sibling will see this and remember me. (My daughter came across this site.)

My dad was a TB patient at Grosvenor Sanatorium during 1942, from June to October after being invalided out of the RAF; he'd been flown home from Malta where he was Boat Crew in the RAF's Air/Sea Rescue Service. On his letters to his girlfriend (later to be his wife and my mum) he has his address as Bed 90.
Hello, I am very excited to come across this site as I feel it will help with my family tree. I am looking for a record of a lady called Doris who was in the Grosvenor Sanatorium in 1939, she would have been 31 years old. If anyone can help me I would so very grateful.
