Sully re-visited


Ann Shaw ( nee Rumsey) in the grounds of Sully during a recent visit to the area.




Says Ann:
"Sully hospital has been converted into upmarket apartments. 

 Today it's  a gated community with no access allowed into the building.

  However, I had a good walk around the grounds ( I just ignored the "keep out" signs) and discovered that Sully is adjoining the shore. From my ward  on the third floor I had always  thought it was perched on top of a cliff.  It came as something of a shock to discover that the hospital was in fact next to the beach!


I was there for six months in 1960 but never went outside so I was glad to have the opportunity at last to walk around the grounds. "
