Title
Primrose Ward, Maternity Hospital
Description
A photograph of the Aberdeen Maternity Hospital's Primrose Ward at its Castle Terrace location. It shows three nurses looking after a number of patients in bed and recently born children in cots. The hospital moved to Castle Terrace in 1900 and the number of beds steadily increased from 18 in 1904 to 32 by the mid 1930s. The cost of the new building in Castle Terrace was covered by donations, including a generous gift of £3000 from the Trustees of the late Thomas Primrose, advocate of Aberdeen. The ward was presumably named after this benefactor. There were three wards in 1912; the Primrose Ward, the Alice Ward and a private ward. This image featured on the backcover of many of the hospital's annual reports. Aberdeen Local Studies hold copies of these reports for the years 1912 to 1947.
