Can anyone help!! My uncle (whom i have only just found out about) was instituionalised in Brockhall Hospital as a child. Around 1945ish and lived there till his death in 2004, aged 65years. His name was Henry Collier. Does anyone remember him, i have found one picture of him in his later life and he was quite tall, good build, dark hair and looked a really nice man. i know very little about him or why he was sent there, how can i get any more information about him? also does anyone know where inmates were moved to in 1994 when the hospitaal was closed or how i can find that out? i am his next living relative, so i have next of kin rights i assume to his records, i just don't know how to go about finding them. did any staff remember him? i only wish i'd know 3 years ago so that i could have visited him.
