Such a shame to see such a wonderful hospital close. I worked there as a nurse and had many wonderful years there. It was such a huge hospital with the largest corridors, which was the largest in europe,,,,,, happy days

I received my psychiatric nursing training at this hospital in the 1960's. I later worked there as a ward sister. The building was beautiful and I recall enjoying the well kept grounds. I do wish I had taken pictures of this place.

I worked here in the 80's and used to walk the length of the corridor daily to ward 26. I will always remember the great team I worked with.

I was employed there as a gardener before I joined the British Army in 1976. What a place, and it took an age to cut the grass!
