Nottinghamshire / Re: Sanatoriums in Nottingham
« on: Wednesday 01 January 14 21:55 GMT (UK)  »
Three years later, I've just seen your message about sanatoriums in the Nottingham area.

No doubt you've got the answers to your questions now but I can tell you that there was a sanatorium at Basford, Nottingham.  In fact I was a patient there for a year between October 1955 and October 1956.  There were three wards and I recall the doctors then were called Tozer, Whittaker and Rooke.

Best wishes.

Hello Chelmermead

This is the first time of sending a message, though I've read plenty.  I was very interested to read about your 105 year old grandmother - how wonderful to have someone of that age to talk to!   And what interesting stories she has to tell.  I'm intrigued about the photos on her wall and wonder if it would it be possible to copy them for me please.  I'd willingly pay any costs. 

My grandfather was Oliver Hynds born in Stebbing in 1878, the youngest of eight children born to John and Sarah Hynds nee Levitt.   Tragically they both died before they were 50 and only two of their children lived. 

Grandad used to say that he was brought up by his uncle who was a miller.  I think this must have been the Edward Hynds you mentioned.  I wonder if your grandmother may remember anything about this? 

It must have been about 1990 when I visited Stebbing and went to the Town Mill where I met Len Hynds and his wife and daughter, and he gave me a couple of sacks and tickets with his name on.  I still have them.
