I, like many another Garston lad ,was a frequent out patient at Garston Hospital. It was small compared to Myrtle Street but nowhere as crowded.
It smelled strongly of disinfectant and was always spotlessly clean. In those days,the 50's ,the nurses wore starched bonnets and crisp white aprons,the nearest things to angels that a lad in Garston would ever see. I've been stitched and patched by the best and can't recall ever being treated by doctors ,it was truly cottage hospital.Will it be missed ? only the present inhabitants of Garston can answer that question,
