Listening to the Voices from the Belvidere

In a series of dramatic monologues bringing to life fascinating stories of laundry maids who ran away, nurses who caught fever after fever, kitchen staff who rebelled and the rare women doctors who followed their calling against all odds, we showcase Voices from the Belvidere.

Listening to the Voices from the Belvidere, Tuesday 4th July, 2.30pm to 4.30pm

Over the last few months, we have been researching and writing about the women associated with the Belvidere Fever Hospital in the East End of Glasgow around the time of the First World War.

Now hear their voices.

“…within hours I was a patient on my own ward…”

“…smells of polish and antiseptic and boiled cabbage…”
