Lost Norwich - Hospitals

[@timothyhowson2775]

Have very vague memories of being taken to the Jenny Lind Hospital by my Mother sometime in the 1950`s. I think it was an outpatient appointment and believe I had an ear problem.
I was able to witness the building of both the General Ward block and the Maternity Block as I lived then at Hanover Road, off Brunswick Road. Fascinating also to stand in the back garden and watch the steeplejacks building the enormous chimney.
Any chance John, of a video on the `Golden Triangle`, an area I grew up in?

[@JohnAtkinsLostNorwich]

Thanks Timothy, also for your suggestion. This one is sort of "the edge" of the Golden Triangle - maybe one day I'll venture further in!ua-cam.com/video/LAiRyKgT3_k/v-deo.html

I was born in the Jenny Lind hospital, April 1967

Hope the video told you a bit about what it was like!

Thanks for sharing all this fascinating history about our city, it's really amazing to see more about all the places I walk past regularly 😊

@@JohnAtkinsLostNorwich 😊 someone shared one of your videos on Reddit today and I'll be working my way through all you've made over the next few weeks. It's so interesting!

@@joethompson11 thank you, I hope you cope with hearing my voice for such a long period 🤣

Very well researched and explained. Fascinating content. Our favourite bit - your mum’s diary entry at the end! Very sweet and moving.

[@JohnAtkinsLostNorwich]

Thank you Bee Gees. Yes, it moves me to see those words.

Thank you, I'm glad you liked it 🙂

Gorgeous video - I was born in the Maternity block in 1980 at the N&N. My father cycled there from UEA.

I was in the Jenny Lind hospital on Unthank Road twice. First time in 1953 to have adenoids removed and then again in 1955 aged 5 to have a tonsilectomy; so I remember it

[@JohnAtkinsLostNorwich]

I think it's very well remembered by those who spent time there.

[@IDreamOfGaming]

Wonderful. Would love a video about the N&N towers and West Norwich hospital.

[@JohnAtkinsLostNorwich]

Thanks. I'll see what I can do. I've had quite a lot of requests so it may be a while. I'm not sure what you mean by N&N Towers...?

[@Thatwasthesummerofsv]

Thanks John.
A really interesting and insightful look into Jenny Lind and the city's lost hospitals.

[@JohnAtkinsLostNorwich]

Thank you John for your comment

[@MrBloodthirstyalex]

Again very insightful! Fantastic content as always! Keep it up :)
I'd love to learn about At Andrews Asylum

[@JohnAtkinsLostNorwich]

Thank you. Actually that's the second request I've had about St Andrew's, so I'll add that to the list!

[@petermcewan2551]

My grt grandfather was in the Jenny Lind hospital for nearly two years ,in the late 1880,s We are guessing he had TB .

[@JohnAtkinsLostNorwich]

Thanks for sharing that, Peter. All adds to the reality of the images.

[@petermcewan2551]

Seems strange to see where he would have spent some of his early life.

[@JohnAtkinsLostNorwich]

@@petermcewan2551 indeed, it brings things home and makes them real.

[@timbaldry8072]

Very interesting, I can't wait for the next lost subject?

[@JohnAtkinsLostNorwich]

Thank you Tim. Two weeks to wait!
