Talking Tees Valley: Stockton and Thornaby Hospital

01 August 2023

Each month we use objects and photos from our museums in the Tees Valley to take a closer look at the lives and stories from people in our area.

This month we are looking back at one of Stockton’s first hospitals, from its humble beginnings to its years as an important service for the town. We will also look into the life of one of the Nurses who worked there.

In this pack we explore one of Stockton’s earliest hospitals and the staff who worked there

This activity pack contains images, discussion points and activities for you to enjoy.
