Grand National and goodbye to a Victorian asylum

The sacrifices made at Aintree and was Shrewsbury’s Shelton hospital ever your home?

Jim hears Shropshire’s strong feelings about the Grand National; a prestigious race, awesome jumps and 40 runners – but only 19 finished and two horses were put down. Is it worth it?

Sheila called Shrewsbury’s Shelton hospital home for part of her life. She, and others, share their feelings as the Victorian asylum is about to be replaced by a new mental health “village”.
