One Sunday in the early 1950s my mother cut her hand causing a lot of bleeding. My Dad wrapped her hand in a tea towel, picked up my baby sister, told me to hold Mum's uninjured hand & off we set to walk to the infirmary in Ellison Hall, next to St John's church. I was amazed to find, in the reception room, many superb models of ships, presumably built by Palmers.

In 1974 my wife & I had recently returned from 2 years in Singapore with my parents 1st grandchild, unfortunately Robin burnt one of his hands on his Grandmother's very hot radiator. My wife & I rushed him to the same infirmary & I was astounded to find the reception room bare! I asked about the ship models but none of the staff knew what I was talking about. Can anyone shed any light, please?

Both casualties recovered fully.
