| Description | In her letter to Miss Whitlock enclosed alongside these typescripts, Taylor Cadbury provides a brief history of the development of the Woodlands Orthopaedic Hospital. She writes that the Woodlands, referred to here as the 'Crippled Children's Home', 'arose out of the annual visits' made to the Manor Farm by the Birmingham & District Crippled Children's Union. Taylor Cadbury notes that after the house opposite the Manor Farm had become vacant, the Cadbury family had secured it for the establishment of the Home. She also comments on the history of the Cripples Hospital in Newhall Street in Birmingham remarking on how its merger with the Woodlands had led to the foundation of the Royal Orthopaedic Hospital. |
