Mabel Cooper and Gloria Ferris lived in St Lawrence's Hospital, .one of the large learning disability institutions which were built round the edges of London. In this paper, Mabel and Gloria share their memories of three nurses at St Lawrence's, supported by Jane Abraham. The article also includes an interview Gloria carried out with MW, one of the nurses at St Lawrences, to help hear the story from a nurse's viewpoint. These accounts of the work and life of nurses and domestics in the hospital raise a number of ethical issues which are still relevant today. (Edited publisher abstract)
