In the early 90s, Radio Lollipop had a station based on Ward 25 at Frenchay Hospital in Bristol.\u00a0 In 1992, John Baker of Weston-Super-Mare made a special stained glass window for the room which celebrated BBC’s Children in Need and featured the iconic Pudsey Bear.<\/p>\n
The window was rescued following the closure of Frenchay Hospital and thanks to members of the local community it has been restored to its former\u00a0glory and\u00a0given to Frenchay Village Museum where it is now on display to the public.<\/p>\n
A big thank you to\u00a0Frenchay Village Museum, Roy Oaten, Richard Thomas and Jeff Feltham for supporting this project and preserving a piece of Radio Lollipop history.<\/p>\n
If you would like to see the window the museum is located just inside Entrance “B” of Frenchay Hospital.\u00a0 It is open Wednesdays 1pm to 4pm and Saturdays and Sundays 2pm to 5pm.\u00a0 Admission is free.<\/p>\n
If anyone has any memories or stories about the window or Radio Lollipop at Frenchay, please contact us\u00a0as we would love to hear from you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
