Marple Childrens' Orthopaedic Hospital


mlhs_matron_and_patient.jpg

Treetops had its own X-ray facilities, plaster room and even an iron lung for polio victims. Many of the children were long term patients, some staying for up to two years. Most of the photos in this album are believed to be taken during a 1930s Christmas. Treetops closed its doors for the last time towards the end of 2001 and homes are now built on the site.

80 files, last one added on Aug 21, 2010
