Glandford and Gresham Wards, 8th Floor of Main Ward Block

The Glandford and Gresham Wards was the 2 wards on the 8th floor of the Main Ward Block. These were the Childrens Wards. These were also known as the paediatric wards. The wards at either ends of the MWB had cubicles instead of the usual 4 to 6 bed open bays.

Glandford Ward
The Glandford Ward was on the west side of the lift/foyer core at the middle of the building.

Gresham Ward
The Gresham Ward, named after Gresham in Norfolk, was on the east side of the main lift foyer. This ward opened in March 1976, 6 months after the Main Block started being used. This ward had a classroom for the children and play facilities. The classroom was on the south of the MWB overlooking Norwich city centre and the Nestle Factory opposite. Even then, children still had to risk being in the naughty chair lol.

At both ends of the MWB on the 8th floor, the 2 bed bays had the usual 4 beds in each bay but were in cubicles rather than an open plan ward. See diagram below for more info.
