Roy Towers worked at Wellington Hospital in various administrative roles from 1941 to 1983.
He carefully collected and preserved a wealth of historical information relating
to the Public Hospital in Wellington, and much of this is now lodged in an
Archives New Zealand collection which bears his name.
The collection is available at the Archives NZ in Wellington, and the complete contents can be viewed there by
referencing ABRR 7563
This Evening Post photograph was taken at the time of the launch in 1976 of
the book 'Wellington Hospital 1847 - 1976', written by Laurie Barber & Roy Towers.
Roy is seen studying the plans of the original Newtown Hospital, designed by C Julius Toxward.
