Anyone please help.
Hiya - my mum worked at Broadgreen from 1964 - 1985, her name is Margaret Elizabeth Blackburn, she was a student nurse, then staff nurse, sister and eventually did her midwifery training, ending up in running family planning.... if you remember her please contact me. It was Highfield Infirmary built in 1903 as an epileptic home, then TB infirmary, after the may blitz of 1941, it became a district hospital.
I remember when we didnt have alot of money, mum would take me over to the nurses home for a bath! - i have a picture of the original plan of the hospial on my blog - http://paulamuir.blogspot.com/
Hope this helps
