Great Pictures and they bring back memories.  We were out all weathers and when our hair was washed in icy weather, it would freeze on our heads. I don't remember every feeling cold or having a cold.  Thank you very much for the photos.

Thank you so much.  The book looks interesting and will certainly chase it up.

Thank you for your reply.  Aston Hall was an Annexe of the Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital and it was for children only. I expect they moved them there during the war so that the main hospital could accomodate wounded soldiers.  I was a long stay patient 70 years ago at Aston Hall and would like to be in touch with anyone else who was a patient there at that time.  It was an open air hospital and we were wheeled outside for fresh air all year, unless it rained. I have written an account of my time there but would like someone else to corroborate my account.

I was an in-patient at Aston Hall Oswestry from 1st Jan, 1951 until 28th April 1952.  Is there anyone out there who was a patient or a nurse who can corroborate my story. I would love to hear from anyone who was there under Sister Mary Powell and Sister Carrie Johnston.  We were very well treated there and got used to life in a long stay hospital.
