The children had a variety of disabilities from blindness to loss of limbs but all were subject to the same strict regime enforced by the matron, Muriel Powell. The hospital must have been freezing to live in during the winter and ex-pupils remember sea water pouring into the wards during winter high seas and hurricane lamps having to be used.
