Princess Marina, the Duchess of Kent arriving at Quorn House
During the Second World war, Quorn House on Meeting Street was used as a nursing station. Many local women and girls worked there. This picture shows the Princess Marina, the Duchess of Kent arriving on a visit to Quorn House and getting out of her car outside of the front door.

Sheila Brewer recalls: “She wore a navy blue suit and a very RED hat! She looked beautiful and was so gracious”. Sheila was in the Red Cross and worked at Quorn House prior to joining the forces.
