5. Humble beginnings.

Discovered: a really interesting and relevant website.

A website that contains some fascinating material about JGH which is well worth checking out is www.workhouses.org.uk

Produced by Peter Higginbotham, it's a large site with many sections each of which will absolutely fascinate anyone with an interest in health-related social history. But if your time is limited here's the quickest route into the JGH part:

Get onto the www.workhouses.org.uk website and click on: The MAB sub-title in the list that you will find on the left hand side of the main webpage. This will reveal two further headings and if you click on the second of these entitled: MAB Institutions, you will then be able to double click on to: Joyce Green, Dartford to reveal an Aladdin's cave of pictures, plans and information on "Joyce's" pedigree.

If this visit to Peter's website is your first, prepare to be amazed.
