I worked at whittingham between 1986 and 1988 on nights. I am a RMN (registered mental nurse) what we all should remember is that this place holds many memories and it was the home to many people. We must respect that at all times. I appreciate all the time and effort that has gone into putting all these great photos on the website. It is very nostalgic for me to see the old place again before its demise. For anyone who is inclined to stigmatise the mentally ill, and relate to them as if they are a social underclass, it is worth knowing that 1 in 4 of the population will suffer from a mental illness at some time in their lives. None of us are immune. Please remember this fact. thank you.
