Looking back: Memories of Edith Cavell Hospital

The Edith Cavell Hospital at Bretton was opened by the Queen in 1988 and I took this night-time picture in October 2010, with the newly opened Peterborough City Hospital in the background, writes street photographer Chris Porsz.

I have had a great response to my recent series of columns centred on PDH and I now invite PT readers, staff and patients to share their memories of ECH, which was demolished in 2011.
