| AdminHistory | Scott writes that Elizabeth Taylor Cadbury's ninetieth birthday celebrations, attended by over one hundred and fifty members of her family, were 'the crowning point' of her 'last strenuous happy years'. She describes the large number of telegrams, letters and cards received by Taylor Cadbury and the large family party held at The Davids in Northfield, the home of Taylor Cadbury's eldest son Laurence John Cadbury, to celebrate the occasion. Scott notes that thirty eight of Taylor Cadbury's grandchildren were present at her ninetieth birthday celebrations alongside thirty four of her great-grandchildren.
Scott notes that, characteristic of Elizabeth Taylor Cadbury, she left her birthday party early to attend a meeting at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham. The meeting was the final gathering of the Govenors and Staff of the United Hospitals before they were amalgamated under the auspices of the National Health Service. |
