Barbara & Carol

The starched uniforms and the patients may be long gone, but just for a while, the wards came to life again as Barbara and Carol, two former nurses, shared their reminiscences of their time at High Royds.

Perhaps they too had never before wandered these wards at such a leisurely pace, no longer rushing around with the urgency and demands of their nursing days. The visit gave an opportunity for reflection, and resurrected some long forgotten memories.

I am very grateful to them both for their unique and valuable contribution to this collection.
