Mrs Norah Kirk, wife of Dr J.L. Kirk
(founder of the Castle Museum in York) is
seen with hat and coat, sitting in the
middle of a group of wounded soldiers
during the First World War, at One Oak,
Hallgarth. The house was established as a
Red Cross Hospital in April 1915 and was
still open in 1919. Mrs Kirk was the
matron. The premises continued in use, as
a doctor's surgery until a new surgery
opened on the Ropery in the 1970s.
