Whittingham Hospital, Whittingham, Preston, Lancashire, England

Post-War
In 1948, the hospital became part of the newly-formed National Health Service and was renamed "Whittingham Hospital".
While working at the hospital during the 1950s, Dr C S Parker and Mr Charles Breakall produced an early electroencephalograph (EEG) machine using War Surplus material purchased for £2.10.0d. and conducted pioneering experiments in the field of encephalography and mental illness using patients there. An article was published in The Lancet describing these experiments, and considerable interest was said to have been expressed by the American Department for Space Medicine at the time.
