Photograph of Christine Daly at the Cubbington Carnival in 1958

Given by Christine Daly in 2010

 

The year before this photograph was taken Christine Daly contracted Polio. She spent several weeks in Warwick Hospital and also received hydrotherapy treatment at the Royal Pump Rooms. Christine shared her experience of being ill and the treatment she received with us in a recorded oral history interview. She also donated an arm support, which you can see in the Medical History Gallery.

 

Christine’s story is one of many we hold about the people who were treated in the building. We are exploring how we can better present the stories of health and wellness linked to the building. Let us know if you have any thoughts about this.
