The on-going process of rebuilding culminated in the replacement of the now near derelict 1875 building by the new Variety Club Building, opened in 1994. This, paid for by the nationally successful "Wishing Well Appeal" , has provided sophisticated 4-storey accommodation for the Intensive Care, Hos...

From 1883 to 1948, the hospital also trained private nurses to work in the community and for the children of wealthier parents and maintained its own staff of "Supply" nurses for hire by private patients. The private nurses may have been the first to wear the famous pink uniforms that subsequently ...

The 1,047 in-patients and 14,522 out-patients of 1880 had risen to 1,690 in-patients by 1900, and 19,000 out-patients by 1890. Another new building with three large wards (the surviving red-brick frontage building), was opened in 1893, partly funded by money collected by children nation-wide as a "...
