    Queen Elizabeth Hospital

    A Book on the QE Nurse During my peruse of the medical Library, now situated in Nuffield House - the former Nurses Home, I found a book - the QE Nurse. I flipped through and despite the fact it was before my time at QE, it hadn't seemed to have changed. I found two of my tutors plus Matron...

    Queen Elizabeth Hospital

    What is Queen Elizabeth Hospital like today? In the sixties it stood proudly on the skyline in leafy Edgbaston suburbia surrounded with meadows. I had a trip down memory lane a couple of years ago and found it swallowed up and almost insignificent amongst surrounding concrete and buildings...

    Woodcock St Baths.

    The BIG drain at Woodcock Street I expect most swimmers and divers were scared of the drain when diving from the top board.

    Kent Street Baths

    Quite an futuristic frontage. I dived in competitions there once. I remember it was the Coronation Year of Queen Elizabeth and I won an engraved red, white and blue silver medal. Still treasure it today. Are the baths still there?
