me-and-pippo Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 I remember seeing a photograph of the clinic on one of the local forums fairly recently. The building was quite substantial with 2 or more storeys, a verandah, & a copper-domed turret at the Queens Road end of the building. I think the photo was taken in 1960. I have tried to find it again but without success. There is a 1959 photo in the photo collections at http://www.tramway.co.uk/. Here is a direct link to the image .. adlibhosting.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smary Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 When I was 18 I had my chest x ray at the bottom of the Moor - finished up in the Northern General having half my left lung removed My husband thinks it may have been something to do with the railways.

jiginc Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Not a 100% certain but didn't the X ray place used to be on Ellin Street at the bottom of the Moor ? Sure was, It was the static MMR (Mass Miniature Radiography unit). Used to detect for TB. It then moved to the Royal on West Street and was behind the casualty department. When the royal closed it moved to the Hallamshire Out patient department Ground floor. When they thought we had eradicated TB they were all closed down. It was called Miniature because the films were small, started out as 70mm roll film and later 100mm cut film. As also stated they had a mobile van and trailer that visited works and large offices plus outlying villages. I believe the trailers that housed the diesel generators were built for use in the war as power supplies for the search lights. OK I'm full of useless information. I'll get my coat.
