In these days of self isolation with the coronavirus, may I ask your readers if any of them remember the Baton Manor Isolation Hospital situated in Harecoft Road, Wisbech.
I believe it was used for the treatment and care of tuberculosis, polio and small pox victims, ending its days, I believe, as a hotel, being subsequently demolished at a date I cannot recall.
Hopefully, some of your readers may be able to fill the gaps with further details of this lost Wisbech institution.
