What town were you born in ?

Glasgow and still here

In a stately home in Plymouth that was turned into a maternity home in the War.

Denver Colorado (now living in Kent!)

A couple of Stockports I see- my husband was born in Cheadle Heath in his front room during the blackout in the war.

A small town called “Curepipe”, in Mauritius. It translates as “pipe cleaner”, supposedly the place where soldiers would stop in their March from SE to NW!

Aveley, Essex.

A few Liverpudlians I see, anyone born at Walton Hospital?

Manchester

Shrub Hill, Worcester, UK.

The hospital was demolished, then the hideous Elgar House was built on it sometime in the 1960s.

Doncaster. Seems to be a first on this thread!

Pre-NHS so in a nursing home on Mutley Plain in Plymouth.

I’ve still got the bill. Middle of winter so bill included laying and lighting a fire in my room😊.

Midwife called Sister McAndrew Campbell.

Can’t remember doctors name

I left home at 15 and Ended up in a bed sit on Mutley plain and I worked in the Lyons coffee/ tea house
I remember the landlady had to ring my aunt May (The only one in our family who had a phone) To make sure that it was okay that I was living in a bedsit in Mutley plain..

You weren't an art student were you, Shinamae?

Moth62 I was born 13 miles from Doncaster. My birth, during the war, was at the home of my paternal grandmother.

A small town called Windsor in Nova Scotia. No memories of it at all.

London

There have been several posts asking random questions lately. Why on earth would anyone want to know? (Unless of course ... no, I won't say that. Don't want to be excommunicated from GN).

Village - Aberfan, Wales

South London.

London, specifically Dalston, E8. Now achingly trendy (and expensive) then a respectable working class area.
I didn’t stay there long, just six weeks later flew with my DM to Kuwait, a very long flight in pre-jet times and I was apparently the youngest baby to fly that route then.
I often think it was a huge undertaking for my mum, a London girl in her early 20s to fly thousands of miles with a tiny baby to join her husband of only a year or so. I was a honeymoon baby!
