I can still recite the names of the male and female wards with flower and tree names going round in alphabetical order. An Austrian psychiatrist called Kratter was the medical Director. My father (Percy Beswick) worked there for 25 years (about 1956 to 1974) and was a charge nurse on Firwood. He started the public sector union (NUPE then) and was branch secretary for years. I also knew Mick Morgan.
