Today I conducted a tour for a group of people through the Willow Court area. We started at the edge of the supermarket which once was the oval, the large supporting wall behind the building is still intact and stands to the memory of the one man (patient) who almost completed the wall himself. We went on and listen to Anne McKinstray’s audio tour of the oval wards G, E and D while looking at each of the remaining buildings. We then went past the different buildings along the Avenue and heard about one or two characters and some of their lives journey, working conditions and connections with wars and the community, this included Matron Morey and her story of the gold sovereign. Then over to Frascati House to hear how Dr Brothers wife worked to make camouflage nets for the second world war. We weren’t able to access the COMPLETED Barracks (stage one) area and felt disappointed not to be able to access this area and tell the wonderful stories that area had to say. Is that what you call a lost business and educational opportunity?
