TV COMPANY VISIT 

We were delighted to welcome the members of a television production company who were here to record a piece with Tony Robinson.  Tony was talking with Trevor Avery of the Windermere Holocaust Project and also with Kevin Coulter of Dalton  who was a patient here in 1945, when Calgarth was the Ethel Hedley Orthopaedic Hospital for Children.  Kevin was in the bed next to one of the Jewish refugees, Mendel Preter, who was admitted with TB.  Kevin was also interviwed here for the BBC Open Country programme which was broadcast in November 2018.  We don't know when the Tony Robinson programme will be going out but will put a message up here when we know.
