After serving as a nurse in WW2, Molly Corbally joined the brand new NHS & became one of the first official District Health Visitors, attending to mothers & babies from all walks of life in the picturesque village near Coventry she came to call home.

Social work was uncharted territory at the time, & Britain was very much worse for wear
- TB, polio, measles & whooping cough were just some of the hazards new babies faced. Social conditions could also add to the problems, at a time when poverty & alcoholism were rife.

Armed with only her nursing training, her common sense & a desire to serve, Molly set out to win over a community & provide a new & valuable service in times of great change.

As well as the challenges there was also joy & laughter, from the woman who finally had a baby after fifteen years of trying, to the woman who thought she should use marmalade as nappy cream, because the hospital had never taken the label off the jar they were using to store it.
