This print takes us back to the year 1968, capturing a poignant moment on a women's surgical ward at Montague Hospital in Mexborough, South Yorkshire. Founded in 1889 as a result of Dr Sykes' and Andrew Montague's determined campaign, this esteemed institution was named after the latter as recognition for his significant contribution. The image showcases the dedication of healthcare professionals during that era, providing essential medical care to female patients within the confines of their bedchambers. The monochrome tones evoke a sense of nostalgia and highlight the stark reality faced by these brave women seeking treatment. As we delve into this snapshot from history, we are reminded of Britain's commitment to healthcare and its evolving National Health Service (NHS).
