Brooks, Martin T.2020
Books
This book is the culmination of over 11 years of research into the lives of the doctors, nurses, volunteers and patients who lived and worked at the Leavesden Asylum/Hospital, St Pancras Workhouse and the Abbots Langley Hospital from 1868 until the closure of these facilities in 1995. Its pages give an insight into the cultural heritage of caring that was, and still is, prevalent within these communities and which was created in everyday life by locala residents, family members, schools and neighbourhoods. These are the stories of real-life people who cared and gave so much of themselves, in true heroic fashion, so that the individuals in their care could have the best lives they could.
