Billy Ross

Well, I was universally known as Billy, I had TB in my left leg and I was in there about that time. Could it have been me, I wonder.

..........and I always thought there was a projection telly in one of the wards. OK, maybe not. I was in the Children's for a couple of years, and Reigate Annexe, then to Rivelin. I was in B2, B1 and A3 as well as frequent visits to obs. which is where I was on Coronation Day, so couldn't go and watch the telly. I don't recall any of those names though; the only three I can remember are Philip Hulley, Anne Gregory and Francis Frost. I do have quite a few photos of myself outside when the beds were taken out. I don't know how to load photos onto this site other than linking them to another website. I haven't used Photo Bucket for many years so I wouldn't know how to access my account on that site. I'll try to find a means to do it. Who knows? There might even be a photo of you there.

We must have been in at the same time, you 'n' me.

Me too. That's when I found out that Wilfred Pickles shared my birthday.

I was in several times between about 1949 and 1964. I do have quite a few photos of my stay there, but I haven't figured out how to load them onto this site yet. I only joined it a few minutes ago. When I suss it, I'll put them on. Dr. Herzog and Mr. Holdsworth were my consultants.

So have I. It has Coco the Clown standing over my bed looking at me.
