Set of black and white photographs in a series entitled 'A London Assistant Nurse Training School', taken for the Ministry of Health in 1958 and issued by the Central Office of Information, with explanatory captions affixed to the reverse of each print. They include shots of pupil assistant nurses studying and interacting with patients.
The box these photographs are stored in is labelled 'Complete Set of Photographs: Grove Hospital 1958' (with a note stating that it was 'found during [a] clear out', 1997), indicating that they were taken at the Grove Hospital site, which was by 1958 the Tooting branch of St George's. The box also contains six photographs of an ambulance which, while also seemingly taken at Tooting, do not appear to belong to the 'Assistant Nurse' set.
