DO you remember the Adela Shaw Hospital in Kirkbymoorside?
This children’s hospital opened in 1925 and closed in 1970. The number of queries we received about the people passing through the wards as either patient or nurse prompted the Kirkbymoorside History Group to gather material.
The group has already published two books on the subject. However, they are planning a third in the series.
It is due out at the end of this year and we are hoping to contact any former patients and staff who are willing to contribute their memories and anecdotes of this unique hospital.
In addition they are hoping to add to the archive of photographs already donated or copied to the group.
If you can help please contact the group secretary via email on kmshistory@supanet.com
