Prior to the formation of the National Health Service, it was up to local communities to raise monies for local hospitals themselves. |
|
Hospital Days were an annual event, much like a carnival with decorated drays and fancy dress - to attract onlookers who would hopefully give generously to the cause. |

|
| Many of the Hospital Days were held at the 'Jacksdale Institute' otherwise known as the Miners' Welfare. | The above group were members of the Primitive Methodist Church. | |
