It had a ten bed ward for men; a similar ward for women; six beds for children and four single rooms for private patients. The ground floor held an operating theatre; a sterilising room; dispensary; X-Ray and Violet Ray rooms and Casualty and Emergency wards. During the post war era the hospital developed a reputation for the treatment of bone injuries. The foreground of the picture captures severe flooding on Cranmer Green. |
