Staff and History - Wilderness Isolation Hospital (General)

by annabarton, Sunday, April 24, 2011, 16:14 (4969 days ago)

According to my grandmother, my great-great grandmother Eliza Workman (nee Dobbs) worked in an isolation hospital. ?1870s/80s

The family lived in Mitcheldean, so at a guess it was the old The Wilderness Isolation Hospital,especially as there is a story of her coming home (against the rules) to see her children, leaving her work clothes in the coalhouse.

Are there any records still available about the hospital or the staff that worked there? (I see it's now an out-of-bound centre).

I also see from your forum there was also another one at Little Dean?

Thank you,
Anna
