Nursing Alumnae of Queen Mary's Hospital for Children

I was "on" ward E1 as a three year old, and on ward D1 in the 1950s. most
of my childhood memories are of the staff who I loved as my family, and to
this day still talk about them, and refer to Queen Marys as "my" hosp.

Miss Stratton and Miss Davis were my school teachers, Lovely, Sister May Massey
was my other mother, and some of the nurses were just my heroes and doubled
up as aunts, big sisters etc. If they were going out to a special "do"
they would come back to the ward in the evening and show us what they were
wearing.

Nurse Windsor "Windy" Nurse Walker "jhonny" I even remember our
cleaner Lena. So many happy memories from so many years spent in "my
Hosp" not forgeting the wonderful Mr. Metcalfe, the sound of the
shutters being pulled down at night, the speakers on the wall relaying the
Archers just as visitors left, ( 2 hours on Sunday and 30mins on Wednesday
and Friday) .

I cant believe that I have found this site! its like going
home.
