Colin Shields of Sleaford has sent us the first two photos of a prize giving evening at Grantham Hospital, from the 1950s.
Can anyone add any information such as names to them?

I was in the childrens ward in September 1953 suffering from a burst appendix and Nurse Loosby was one of the nurses who looked after me. I saw her quite often after that because she lived on Gladstone Terrace opposite the Kings School.
The nurse in the first picture is my sister Sheila Pullar (nee Chantry) she was a ward sister, a midwife and then ended her career as a district nurse at Colsterworth and district.
