FROM CANADA # 2

Here are more items from Diana Davies in Canada; these relate to previous posts about Royal Alexandra Hospital, Marine Drive, Rhyl. They are postcards published by Rae Pickard and would be from the early 1900s when the Alex was a children’s’ hospital.

From the top: (a) Hesketh Ward (this picture was sent in by John Powell as well - thanks John); (b) convalescents’ dining hall; (c) open-air treatment, the intended use of the balconies; (d) boys’ balcony; (e) Murray Browne Ward; and (f) the salt-water bath – so much safer than the sea.

There are more pictures from Diana in the pipeline.
