Nurse at the Sanatorium, Knightwick circa 1952.

Here is a photo of a Nurse at Knightwick Sanatorium (Many thanks to Robin Taylor, for photos from his mothers collection)

KNIGHTWICK SANATORIUM.

Recreation for Patients.
In 1934, through the good offices of the late Viscount Cobham, the Thos Corbett Charity provided a sum of £2,000 to provide additional accommodation. With this grant, a new permanent pavilion with six beds was provided with a Recreation Room. The latter is roomy and accommodates a billiards table. At the west end a stage is provided. The room is also used for a religious service every Sunday. We have an appointed Chaplain, and Ministers of all denominations are welcome at the Sanatorium. The Sanatorium has its own cinema and frequent concerts, whist drives, lectures etc., are arranged. Fortunately our Medical Superintendent Dr. R. Cronin has a "flair for mechanics", and he acts as our cinema operator.
