Sadly no, I trained in a children’s hospital now closed, trained as a midwife that has now closed!

My two main jobs in project management from the age of 24 until retirement are, a large IT company and a city council.

Mine was the Health board offices in the ground floor of the nurses' home. It is now appartments and the adjacent hospital was demolished for housing.

The school I taught in for twenty five years is still standing and has had three extensions built, to accomodate growing numbers.

Yes!
Last time I visited, I told people, next time, I would be wandering upstairs, to see what that part now looks like too!

NHS still going strong but the building I was originally in a beautiful building was pulled down and made into a modern children’s nursery

No. My first workplace was in an office of a woolen textile mill. I was 17. Like almost all of such mills that had survived that long, I think it had closed a couple of years later, but I had moved on by then anyway.

Only two, the rest have closed.
