Did you know that the Old Royal Naval College was previously a hospital for retired sailors? Did you also know that they were all looked after by 150 nurses who were all widow's of those lost in service of the Navy?
I travel back to meet the last nurse that was recruited, Harriet, and uncover the hidden history of these nurses, working at the Old Royal Naval Hospital. From one of the largest painted halls in the UK, to skittles in its own bespoke skittle alley, I learn about the lives of these fascinating women.
So. Close your eyes. Hold on Tight. And think of the Victorians!
