East London- within the sound of Bow Bells. So trendy!!

Snap, ronib. I too am a genuine ‘Cockernee.’

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!

South London.

Village - Aberfan, Wales

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).

London

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

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

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?

Doncaster. Seems to be a first on this thread!

Shrub Hill, Worcester, UK.

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

Manchester

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

Aveley, Essex.

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!

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

Denver Colorado (now living in Kent!)

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

Glasgow and still here

Crewe.
