I think it was "Care in the Community" that closed both Rainhill & Winwick.
Newsham General (Belmont Road Hosp as it then was) had two Psychiatric wards in it's early days, X1 & X2 if memory serves my correctly, X1 being female and X2 Male. The patients mainly suffered from GPI.
Still on about Rainhill Hosp but slightly off topic >>>>>
Does anyone know what happened to the two VW fire tenders from the hospital (rainhill) ?
A group of us have been looking for them for a number of years and can find no trace of them.
