We moved to 17, Grosvenor Rd in 1950. The maternity home was on the same side of the road a couple of hundred yards down. A white building built in Victorian times, vague impression of a couple of trees in front, looking a bit in need of paint after the war ,I think it had a flat roof, and might have been about the size of two pairs of semi-detached houses, but I did not take a lot of notice, aged 11! Later demolished and redeveloped.( The Record Office might have something of it's history?) At that time it was reckoned to need 8 nurses to staff a ward , but these might not all have been qualified nurse/ midwives, particularly if it was a privately run home, or a home for unmarried mothers. Disposable needles were yet to be made, so a lot of equipment was still boiled up to sterilise. Judging from experience in 1960 in Moseley, may not have had a lift, newly delivered mothers may have had to be carried up stairs on a canvas trolley cover. Mothers kept in for about a week, unmarried mothers longer to establish feeding, post-natal care etc
