Memories of St Helier Hospital are being welcomed to commemorate 71 years since the hospital was built.
With its future still uncertain, patients and staff alike are being invited to come forward with anecdotes and memorabilia from the hospitals history.
The hospital has already received a staff blast from the past with a number of photographs of nurses. Trinidadian nurse Joycelyn Edmund trained at the hospital between 1964 and 1968.
She is pictured preparing for the nurses annual dinner dance in Ferguson House, which is due to be demolished as part of the hospitals revamp.
The Queen Mother, Queen Elizabeth visited in October 1963 to present student nurses with awards.
The hospital has also been loaned a picture of darker days at the hospital following the bombing of C and D blocks, when the hospital suffered a number of fatalities.
