There was an isolation hospital up the hill at Lodge Moor, does that count? Not Lodge Moor Hospital proper, it was at the top of Crimicar Lane.

Hi Syrup, the one at the top of Crimicar lane was I believe, demolished well before the 40's it also have an attached graveyard! There was also an isolation hospital at Hollow Meadows a short way out from Rivelin on the A57. Lodge Moor Hospital was built as an infectious disease hospital and therefore definately an isolation hospital, my Mum nursed there in the 50's, there are many reunion groups of nursing staff who still meet regularly the secretary of these would be the best way to source info for your boss.

You're welcome, but I think you meant to thank Huthwaite. Gets complicated doesn't it! Huthwaite's right, the one I mentioned was gone by the 1940's.

huthwaite Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Here is a piccie of Crimicar Lane Fever Hospital, until recently the gates were still standing, hosp records are available from 1902 to 1956 si I guess it was demolished shortly after, it was built in 1902 to care for TB sufferers, the way things are going we may soon wish we still had these places!

So it was still operational in the 1940's which is the period Syrup is interested in? Like you I thought it had closed by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest karensheffield Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Hi Fellow SHs Has anyone out there got any information on King Edward Hospital Rivelin Valley Road circa 1940 or anything on any isolation Hospital in that area ?? King Edwards was originally a children's orthopedic hospital, but it became effectively an isolation hospital as many of the patients had limb problems due to TB so had to be isolated. During both world wars it was used to treat injured troops. Life was hard for patients- every day their beds were wheeled out of the individual rooms under the open colonnades that linked them, come rain or shine. The beds were covered with tarpaulins when it rained. Of course there were no antibiotics then, fresh air was the only cure for TB. Life was not easy for the nurses either. They all lived in the main building, up in attic dormitories, and were in fear of Matron and the doctors. They had one afternoon off a week, and used to go to the post office at the end of Rivelin Valley Road where it joins the Manchester Road, and buy bottles of pop and sweets. I heard this from two elderly ladies who came to look round the King Edwards estate, now converted into housing. They had been nurses at the Edward VII hospital during the was, and one had emigrated to Canada and it was the first time she had been back since.

Hello Syrup, King Edward V11 hospital was originally an orthopoedic hospital but was also an isolation hospital as many of the limb problems were caused by TB so patients were kept in isolation.

Guest Gramps Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 The NRA shows records - 1916-92: staff minutes, committee minutes, admissions registers, operation registers, case files, visitors book, are kept at Sheffield Archives. http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/nra/sea...w.asp?ID=O62742 And some good photos here... http://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=6845183 I notice that if 'Fever Hospital' is used as a search term on Picture Sheffield it brings up photos of both Crimicar lane and Lodge Moor hospitals...but the King Edward VII Orthopaedic Hospital is something and somewhere completely different. Much confusion here !!! We need a sticky topic for Sheffield Hospitals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
