Bristol Gate Entrance (1993/4)
On 10th July 1993 demolition work started in Bristol Gate to allow the new entrance to the department to commence. This included a drive in lay-by to the department to enable ambulances and hospital transport to drop off patients safely without blocking the road up to Accident and Emergency. What a relief to everyone not to have to trudge through and uphill the old tunnel access. In addition to this many improvements were made within the Centre including a patient lounge area and reception area.
The Duchess of Gloucester formally opened the new entrance, reception area and patients lounge entirely provided by public donations to the Fund.
