The Main Ward Block in 1977

1977 was the second year the MWB was in use. The new unit was a great addition to the Norfolk & Norwich Hospital but the operating theatres on the ground floor were still having issues.

Towards the end of the year, the operating theatre floors were relaid after cracks still kept on appearing in the vinyl flooring. The new flooring, using a different material was said to last for 50 years.

It seemed the operating theatre snags had been fixed.
