Bye Bye Sir Alfred Jones Memorial Hospital Garston.
Excellent pic, Taffy.
I saw that this morning and thought what a shame. Dunno they couldn't have integrated at least the front of it into the new hospital
Some old Liverpool pics I found

Garston Hospital
Agreed but there are too many vested interests involved in this new type of private hospital venture where the NHS lease back the building. SeeOriginally Posted by scouse smurf

All of which of course comes via the Government which says the NHS is safe in our hands
The company which has the contract for National Health Service buildings in Liverpool has just been fined ?8.3 million by the Office of Fair Trading for a practice known as cover pricing:

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,
