Margaret the Matron

Join Margaret – a matron in the Quarry Hospital – in 1921 to find out more about life in the Hospital. She’ll tell you what it’s like looking after injured quarrymen, and occasionally people from outside of the industry. Life in the hospital isn’t easy – there are strict rules, hardworking staff, and some new treatments that may surprise you! Step into her shoes, hear real stories from the past, and discover what it was like to work, heal, and live in the Quarry Hospital over 100 years ago. 

Thursday 2 April and 9 April during the Easter holidays from 12pm to 4pm.

Thursday 2 April and 9 April during the Easter holidays from 12pm to 4pm.
