Join us as we celebrate Heritage Open Days: England’s Largest Celebration of History and Culture.
Exhibition is available on 12, 13, 19 and 20 September, 10am - 5pm.
Step into the past with a special Heritage Open Days event exploring the everyday histories of the people behind the Royal Victoria Military Hospital.
Drawing on research from the 1921 Census, this exhibition reveals the often-overlooked stories of the people who kept the hospital running behind the scenes. Discover who worked as the engine driver, the responsibilities taken on by a 14‑year‑old employee, and the individuals who transported patients. Learn how convalescing soldiers were supported in their recovery through practical therapies designed to rebuild strength and independence.
A special thank you to volunteer heritage researcher Tim, whose work helped bring this exhibition to life.
Come along to explore, learn and celebrate our shared heritage!
