Sew many happy memories of Ede and former hospital

LAUNDRY and sewing room staff at the old Promenade Hospital were captured by a Visiter photographer celebrating a retirement back in 1977.
Ede Lloyd hung up her needles after 19 years at the infirmary which has since been replaced by flats.
After nearly 30 years of retirement, Ede died aged 93 in 2006.
She is warmly remembered by many, including her son Roger and daughter-in-law Phyllis of Alexandra Road.

It was Phyllis’s entry that won a Southport Visiter competition to find Southport’s greatest mother-in-law – with a big bouquet of flowers for Ede as the prize.
“Ede was bubbly, always on the go and always doing things for other people rather than herself,� said Phyllis, 57.
