Inside North Ormesby Hospital

We thought this was Skinningrove, but now are reliably informed it is North Ormesby! We have also been reliably informed that the wards at Skinningrove would have a similar layout and positioning of beds, as well as heating arrangements! A poor image but you can see the nurses  standing by the beds of  the patients. Ann Jackson suggested: “It could be one of the medical wards. The wards were much the same layout in the late 1960’s when I started my training. They were more modern with central heating and the fire places had gone.” Rod Clarkson has confirmation with: “definitely St Michael’s or St Luke’s Wards at North Ormesby Hhospital (depending if was ground floor or 1st floor). The layout was much the same in late 1970’s when I trained there.”

Many thnaks to Ann Jackson and Rod Clarkson for those updates.
