what an interesting exhibit. it was a trip down memory lane of found memories of edie barlow who helped ring my mother into the world. and dr pickard who sat by my bed all night when i was very ill refusing to go. Also st john ambulance items which my late father was a devoted member and how i first heard of the great ship rohilla. Also the isolation hospital where my uncle was taken with the fever hence it's name 'fever hospital'.
