Victoria Hospital Worksop, Contrasting old and new
By Mick Betts
We visited Worksop Library on 6 September 2012 to see the Worksop Heritage display and DVD of life in the Fifties, which was really interesting and informative, in fact our neighbour, Ron Barracliffe was featured. We were able to see many old photographs of the area and on a short tour of the town were able to visit the sites shown to see what it looks like today. This first shot shows the Victoria Hospital, Watson Road as it was c. 1920 then as it now looks. You will see that the hospital is no longer there, it disappeared in the nineties. This did bring back memories as we did use the hospital, when our daughter had an accident and needed their care. The site is now occupied by Asda, Farmfoods and Home Bargains.
