I was a polio patient there in 1951. I was a lucky one with minor damage from the disease. Like one of the previous commenters, I've had a lifetime of bad dreams from that place. Like COVID19, no one really knew how the disease spread so parents were only allowed to visit for 15 minutes a day. I was 5 years old so that was pretty terrifying. I was only there seven days. I have no historical knowledge of Hedgecroft.
