    Been over it hundreds of times, but never really noticed the bridge before tbh, and certainly didn't know about the stream beneath. Love these sort of vids. Local history is fascinating. Nice one Andy.

    Nice to see another interesting trip down memory lane on this channel, I wonder how rare it is to find a GR post box around GB? Best wishes from Dublin.

    When you show the map at 3:36, the buildings you refer to as warehouses are nothing of the sort. These were know as “The Huts” and were part of the ward network for the hospital. The bottom right building was Hut 1, the next Hut 2 etc. These were built, as far as I am aware during WW2 and were kept in use after the war eventually being used as wards for the expanding Clattebridge Hospital. My wife trained at Clatterbridge then worked on Hut 2 when she qualified before moving to APH when that was opened.

      They were wards. I spent five weeks in one in traction in the sixty's with ruptured discs in my back. The treatment didn't work and I later had injections in my spine at the Pain Clinic which did.

    I've been past this spot a few times already since the video was made. Sure enough I can see G. R. there on the postbox! I remember that's the old entrance to Clatterbridge Hospital. Been driven through it many times visiting my sick Gran. She died in 1991, on I think E-Ward which is long gone now. Hard to believe this is the old entrance to the hospital, just looks like nothing now.

    At the beginning of this video, the Telephone Box on the left was the main entrance to the hospital (at least it was in 1952). Looking further along the road towards the roundabout you can see a two storey building which was the "Childrens Ward" known as "Peter Pan Ward". I was a patient in this ward as an 11 year old for one year and two weeks, the whole time on a balcony - the only cure for Primary Tuberculosis! Not the most pleasant experience - but I'm still about!

      @@TheWirralChannel I reckon about 1955 or even 1960 as the roundabout didn't exist when I was in hospital. It was just a "T" junction!

    Thank you, lots of memories around here, and I love how much effort and focus you put into the details - many of which we wouldn't see now with our scatterbrains :-)

    I remember the building that was nearest to the phone box had a cafe in it. That would have been mid to late 70s. What I really remember about that cafe was the bullet shaped bins. So to answer your question it looked better then. Although the roundabout facilities is better than what it was.

    GR, George Rex. I recall Clatterbridge Hospital having nursing accommodation on site and nurses were taught their trade in situ and not on paper as in some pokey University. I vaguely recall seeing the matron who had the appearance of Hattie Jacques of carry-on film fame who had an aura of don't do as I do, do as I say demeanour, I remember when Britain was Great Britain, I remem...

    The post box is from George V's reign (1910-1936) not the Queen's father George VI (1936-1952). A George the VI post box would have the insignia 'G VI R' not 'GR'.

    I’m sure the entrance by the phone box in the picture was for the maternity ward? Do you know when the picture was taken?
