.....the Archives in Birmingham new Library, but I was there myself Thursday just gone looking through the medical records of Highcroft Hospital...
Hi Aston Lad - sorry about late response, but I have just seen this - my mom (now 84) would be very interested to learn more about her late dad (Martin Brislin of Parliament St.) who was in Highcroft, (we think due to continued effects of shellshock from serving in WW1 and at The Somme), from (maybe?) the 50's to his death in 1965.
I would be really interested too, as there's nothing online that I can find that is helpful.
I realise this is off-topic so I may copy it to a thread on Highcroft, but just wanted to ask what is available at the B'ham Libary in the way of Highcroft records.
I have difficulty getting places because of health issues so it would be helpful to know if it would be worth it.
Thanks so much.
