one for the "old timers" or folks who have aged parents , anyone got any idea how much Doctors/Hospitals charged before the NHS was introduced .
Think maybe Accrington Victoria was built by public subscription , but who paid for the everyday running costs and treatments ? did the mills have some sort of employee insurance ?
Just think its a bit of social history that seems to have been forgotten
thanks
