Eve Evans says:

Oh, yes. I remember those airing courts. I was trained there as a psychiatric nurse, becoming an R.M.N. in 1950, and as a student was required with others to take our patients out into the courts for exercise whatever the weather. It was great during sunny summer time, but when it was cold and wet we would huddle together in the (I think they were called) gazebos.
I still have memories of Whitchurch Hospital and the time I spent there. Thirty or so years ago I wrote down all that I could remember about those three years- almost enough for a book! (I’m now 84 years old)

Christine DAVIES says:

F2 (latterly known as West 2) Sister Ann Hallett was the ward sister during 1970’s and patients suffering from TB were nursed on the verandah (which was freezing). She was a dedicated and caring nurse although junior staff terrified of her!!

Marie Peckham says:

My Aunt became Matron at Whitchurch Hospital. I think she may have worked there continuosly from 1933 when she came to Cardiff from Aberkenfig near Bridgend. Her name was Annie Walsh.
i actually remember going there as a young child with members of my family on Boxing Day to have a celebration with patients there.
When I was a teenager in the 1960’s I worked there as a student in my holidays while training to be a teacher.
It was a happy place, many of the patients had problems but all were cared for with compassion and dignity.
