First matron of Sully- Clara Gould
Jill White, the great niece of Clara Gould, first matron of Sully until her retirement in 1950, has just contacted me.
She says her great aunt devoted her life to her work.
"I visited Sully two years ago only to find that it was being converted into accommodation we also climbed through the barbed wire fence to get a good view!" added Jill.

Mystery building - morgue
Ann standing outside morgue
Whoops! sorry...mystery building is former morgue and it is about to be converted into a bistro /cafe.
I have just returned form Wales and had a tour of Sully - courtesy of the developers- and I found the conversion of Sully hospital into Hayes Point apartments very impressive.

Mystery building?
I have had a query from a resident in Hayes Point, as the former Sully hospital is known as, to ask if I had any information on why one building remains in its original state.
Initial research suggests this is a
medical incinerator
and has been the subject of
some controversy
Can anyone throw more light on this matter?
