Hi everyone. Does anyone recall a sanatorium in Birmingham for children with TB Called Kia Park (could be a different spelling). My mom was there in 1953 but I cannot find any information about it anywhere. Many thanks x

It was called Kyre Park and was in Worcestershire south of Tenbury Wells on the B4214. The Midland Red ran a service on Sundays from Navigation St, regards, John.

Hi, Yes your probably right regards naming names etc. But i'll post this pic'and i'm sure you'll recognize some of the people on it Sister Deeprose for one. The photo only came my way within the last six months. I do have other photo's relating to KPH. I have also been back many times the place holds many memories for me. I note that you remember the male nurse - Mr Jeans. Regards Tony P'.

Hi Tony many thanks for the photo Miss Deprose was the matron and I do remember Mr Jeans was he Irish?If you have any more photos particularly of staff members although there weren't too many if my memory serves me well I remember we had a sister on the boys floor which was the top floor one on the girls floor and matron looked after the nursery children which was on the ground floor and the nurses home home sister who I remember well!!

Hi Mo', I thought it was Sister Deeprose, but no matter - if you were a nurse there @ the time you would know. I have a vivid memory of her. I think Mr [ Staffnurse] Jeans hailed from Yorkshire. I do remember some other nurses names also. As i stated before i have many memories of Kyre, but perhaps some not to be shared publicly. So if emailing is ok with you, here's my address - a.pearsall43@btinternet.com - I also live about 50 miles from KPH in South Derbyshire. A recent pic' of the nurses home. I may have one taken back in the 1950s, i'll check that
out. Regards Tony P'.

Hi Viv, yes i can see the problems posting my email address may cause. Ironically it was for data protection that i put it up. The content i wanted to pass on may or may not have breached some data protection. So i will look @ other ways of passing on the content i have. Tony P'.
Very sensible Tony. Maybe pass your email address via our Conversation function? Viv.

Hi I have just come across this. Funnily enough my grandmother was telling me about her time here from the age of 4 to 6 around 1955 and how she always wanted to return as she felt this was more her home than any other place as a child and has fond memories of her time here. I'd love to show her some pictures if you have any you could share with me, she has no pictures but we are going to take her to an antique fair held there this may!
