I remember many years ago, when I was in St Barnabas church choir visiting Whittington Hall at Christmas to sing carols to the ‘girls’.
Years before in 1945 it sounds like the inmates had a marvellous Christmas if this newspaper excerpt from the Derbyshire Times 28 December 1945 is anything to go by.
