gone but not forgotten
I have received two IM this week regarding the generic address used by some hospitals, so I'm looking to add to the list I already have, these address are used on birth and death certificates as an alternative to the hospital name.
It has been discussed on the forum many times but it seems to be agreed that these address were used to avoid any stigma regarding a birth/death in an infirmary attached to a workhouse, and may have been the address of the Medical/Patients Records Dept.
Dudley Road Hospital, 77 & 99, Dudley Road.
Summerfield Hospital 1, Western Road.
Highcroft Hospital, 18, Union Road & 18, Highcroft Road (road name changed 1932)
Loveday Street Maternity Hospital, 28, Loveday Street.
Monyhull Hospital, 130, Monyhull Hall Road.
Selly Oak Hospital, 1,1A, 1B & 2, Raddlebarn Road.
Sorrento Maternity Hospital 15, Wake Green Road.
St. Mary's Hospice, 176, Raddlebarn Road.
John Connolly Hosp., 384, Tessell Lane
Yardley Green 153, Yardley Green Road.
Rubery Hill Hospital, 1899, Bristol Road South.
West Heath Hospital, 503, Rednal road.
Can anyone add to this list.
