About the Hospitals Category

When these photographs were taken the National Health Service was in its halcyon era, and medical staff are perceived to have been like a well disciplined army.

New hospital building needed staffing, particularly nurses, and between 1949 and 1958 the numbers of nurses working in the NHS increased by 60,000.

If you have any memories of any places or photographs shown, please send them to us and contribute to our memory book to help us identify the photographs.

We also have images of either new hospital buildings, as well as exterior views of
Jewish Hospital and Manchester Northern Hospital.
