View of Knightwick Sanatorium - Post Card

Photograph/card (Many thanks to Major [Retd] Janet Brodie-Murphy) showing an exceptional view of the Knightwick Sanatorium. I am so glad to get a photo like this and have never seen it before. Now those visiting this site will realise the size of the facilities. The tree line on Ankerdine Hill was obviously a lot lower in height when the person who took this was standing there. I always remember my grandfathers words when we sat at a bench, just above the entrance to to the Sanatorium, as he rested his weary legs on the walk to his cottage, on the brow of this hill (Haywood Cottage) " You will have to go far and wide to see any grander or more beautiful view than the one that you can see in front of you" he said. Now seeing this photo I once again can appreciate this view that I so well remember when I was six years old and my grandfather John William Jones was 77 and died two years later on the 9th December, 1956 and is buried at Knightwick Chapel.

To the right of the river Teme are fields owned by the Walkers and where the Point-to-Point would be held every year when I lived there.
