I found out my Grandmother was at the county borough Asylum
I thought maybe as a patient
I had to get the Middlesbrough archives department to investigate
as there was a 100 year information block on this information

when they searched for me they found she was a nurse there not a patient :-D :-D

This is Queen Mary's, Roehampton. Growing up fairly locally I remember this as being the leader in artificial limbs - maybe still is.

If you google the name you will come up with several entries. I think records are held by the LMA.
