Convalescent
A Memory of Woodhouse Eaves.
I was in the convalescent home around 1954-1955 and have some memories of my stay. My parents would visit at the weekends and any goodies that were brought had to be handed over to staff to be shared amongst the other children, I remember my mum not being very happy with this. Also we had to have spoonfuls of what I think was castor oil and something else in the mornings, maybe rosehip syrup - not very nice.
Does anybody else have any memories of staying there?

apart from what I've written my memories are pretty vague as I was only maybe 4years old but what I do remember is not good
I think the reason I have a wasp phobia is due to nobody taking any notice of me in my high sided cot,crying because I had been stung,I believe that my parents took me out of that place
as they were not happy with the staff and the way that children were treated, but all those years ago it didn't matter the way it does today.
I would like to read your memories
Regards
