There was a nurse at Abergele Chest Hospital, or Abergele Sanitorium, in the early 1950s called Nurse Tubridy. Linda Ramsden has kindly shared some old photos from her personal archive of Abergele Hospital in the 1950s. we’ve been publishing Linda’s photos of life in the Hospital in Abergele Post during the past months. Many thanks to Linda.
Update 29/05/2023 As you can see in the comments, we’ve received this correction from Nurse Tubridy’s own son: “The nurse in the photo is not Nurse Tubridy. I know this because my mother is Nurse Tubridy. She was at Abergele Sanitorium as a nurse in the early fifties. She was from Ireland and was known as Maura. I have photos of her during her time at Abergele sanitorium. The photo on your site is not her. She is still alive and is 92 years old this year.” So I’ve changed the captions to remove the wrong name.
lovely post, Abergele Hospital has always been blessed at having exceptional quality nursing and medical staff, a special ethos among it’s supporting staff through to our present day, anyone who has ever worked their of which I’m justly proud to say myself included, seem to generally remember with fondness and pride their time at the hospital

Hi John
My apologies John, I hope I haven’t upset anybody. Whilst going through the photos the name Nurse Tubridy was written on the back of said photograph by my mum (Nurse Hughes) in later life and I can only assume she got confused.
Please accept my apology
Linda
