Sully was a hospital, not a sanatorium, and was the last of several
institutions and clinics to be established for the provision,
treatment and abolition of TB by the King Edward VII National
Memorial Association and it was desbanded after the National Health
Service came into effect in 1948. Memory is like buried treasures.
Sometimes you discover long forgotten worlds. Here I chronicled
life inside Sully, an Art Deco building on the coast near Cardiff,
a state-of-the art hospital designed to offer a more humane way of
treating those with TB, in contrast to the traditional harsh
regimes of sanatoriums based on isolation, and fresh air. "A
fascinating insight into life and death at a TB hospital in South
Wales - from a patient's perspective. At times hilarious, poignant
and shocking but compelling throughout." Chris Holme, historian and
journalist. The author had published several non-ficton books
including "The Children of Craig-y-nos" (co-authored with Dr Carole
Reeves), and "Paolozzi Revealed".
