A friend sent me a copy of a booklet about Marlborough Childrens Hispital when it was still a convalescent hospital. No date on it but looks like 1940’s/1950’s

Happy Christmas and A Happy Healthy New Year to All!
May it be just how you like it. For those friends we said Goodbye to, I dedicate this post to them. They will never be forgotten and I shall raise a glass to them. Xx Leola Baker and on behalf of Ian Meader.
Glad to see a few new comments etc., shame were not able to find any more 'inmates' as yet.
The sad part of that though could be that they are no longer here, RIP to those & their families.

Evening all,
Just reading some of the notifications received today.
I havnt been as active as if hoped since starting the page - due to personal issues, which hopefully are now virtually sorted - till the next ones lol.
The page was started to find other patients, staff & teachers that were here & to share experiences, memories of the ones that are sadly no longer here to share in these.
I was aware of one 'incident' involving a senior member of nursing staff, but the abuse that has come to light since starting this page, I truly admit I had no knowledge of until contacted here.
My feelings are, that we remain supportive to all fellow inmates & are there to help as & when able.
In regards to details of names etc, I strongly feel that we should refrain from stating in posts - as this may interfere with any investigations that happen as a result of the abuse being reported to the relevant authorities.
Please feel free to personal message me directly.
Thank you for reading my personal feelings on this.
