That makes sense it was definitely in a children's/nursery area. I think I found it on the way back from Mistley.

Heres the closest comparison shot i could muster, taken slightly forward but clearly the same place.
This is Defoe Ward, formerly Ward 8. Incidentally, the slightly taller doorway gives access to the sanitary block.

Thanks Pete -knew I could depend on you to dig out the right photo for your vault!

Facsinating topic
You guys are so good with your Sevs history..I reckon one day you should do a book on your pics and knowledge of the place..lets face it,the Gittins book is out of the reach of most,so surely there is a gap here?Many thanx for a very interesting read so far.

Celebrating the 50th. anniversary of D-day in Elim Ward, May, 1995
A Nurse who worked at Severalls for over 40 years, right up 'till it closed in 1997, particulary remembered with fondness, the parties held throughout the years. Here's a few which she has kindly lent of one such party for the Patients, whilst she worked in Elim Ward, which is located on the Eastern side (originally the Female side). Whilst looking through these photos, a poignant thought came to mind -it was quite possible that some of the "Long-Term" Patients might have been at Severalls Hospital since D-day back in 1945.

Wow brilliant thread, some really good comparison pictures there Lightbuoy. Im trying to get my mum to dig out her class graduation picture from when she did her training there, might be useful as a comparison shot.
Ooooh, yes please! It would be great to see your Mum's Grad photo. In me own opinion, the more photos of Severalls, the better! Would you mind asking her if she took any photos whilst she was there? Thanks for your comments

The easiest thing to do is go here http://www.thetimechamber.co.uk/Sites/Hospital/Severalls/severalls.php
I need to update the history of that page, and add a timeline in (read somewhere that it wasn't the tower that was reduced in height, but the chimeny...?)
