The Borough Hospital Park Road North 1904

where was that? is this different place to the general?

Wasnt that on the corner of road called Prince Edward street?
Im sure it was.

The Borough Hospital did become Birkenhead General Hospital. In the 1959 view below you can see the original building with the 'new' wings added.

It was on Park Road North between Livingstone Street and Prince Edward Street.

I very vaguely remember the General. Remember passing it on the bus going to town.

I got my head stitched up there in 1978, 18 stitches ouch.

Had my appendix wizzed out at the General. Just before the needle, I asked if I could have my appendix to have a look at. When I came round on the ward, sure enough, there was the offending organ complete with bulging bit ready to burst !

They had popped it into a bottle of preservative. Still got it today. (Weirdo!)

For those who dont know, the building on the opposit side of Park road North next to the bowling greens was the nurses home. {its now flats}

I went there for treatment once in 1971 when I was 3 after my friend stuck a pen in my eye. I even remember it was a red pen.

''friend'' you sure? Lol. Welcome to wiki btw

Eye eye whats going on here.

'Rose coloured specs' ever since?

Me to, Had a 4" nail stuck right in the corner of eye socket by nose? The nail went in about inch/half,
Hurt when the doctor pulled nail out , The nail missed my eye by a fraction.

Sure it got my brain thou.

knocked f**k out of the lad who done it, made sure he didnt have anything in his hands first.

Before or after it entered your eye?
