Millbrook Rise

One new book to arrive today was this 1930’s publication of Millbrook Rise. It contains all the early information and an array of pictures taken during the very early stages after the construction. The small book also clearly lays out the future intentions for the accommodation services and shows the facilities available to guests. Doctors were welcome to visit and have a tour of the facilities and the fees are also laid out at 5 pound and 5 shillings a week. There is a good scan of the last page which is a floor plan. Staff moved between Lachlan Park and Millbrook Rise and the Millbrook site came under the Royal Derwent Hospital banner. It is the only remaining part of the hospital complex still in operation. The book is considered to be rare.
