HelloMy oldest son was born there in 1969 and they weren't nice to me!!!
Hospital records following a birth have to be kept for25 years. Unfortunately, you records may have been a long time shreddedHello
I wonder if you could help. I’m trying to find my time of birth. I was born at Heathfield Road Maternity Hospital in October 1966.
I am trying to find out where all the hospital records are kept.
Regards

My sister who lives in the US came to visit us in 1960 with her two children and was pregnant with her third. She was not feeling good so our mom took her to Heathfield Rd because it was close to us. Apparently it was a horror show there both my mother & sister were both very upset. It seems that this was the norm there for many years based upon the thread.I was born there in 1946 and spent the first few months of my life in and out of various hospitals with one thing and another. My mother used to say the conditions at Heathfield Road weren't very good, and she thought this was why I had breathing difficulties at a very early age. Could be. Does anyone know when it closed down? Would it be some time in the late 1960's/early 1970's? My friend says it was demolished very soon after it closed, and there's a school on the site now, I believe.

I think it was actually Association for the Rescue and Training of Young Women.In 1940 134 Heathfield Road was called the City of Bm Maternity Home, and in 1939 a premature babies block had been built. Back in 1917 it was called the Rescue Maternity Home.
Hello I am new to this forum but I am searching for my birth record from Heathfield maternity hospital. I was wondering if anyone can let me know how I can obtain this record. So the actual recording of my birth with time. Is that possible to get? Thank you. PawanRef: my earlier post, Mom used to say about Heathfield Maternity that some of the staff gave her the impression that she'd 'done something wrong' - which makes me wonder if it was originally built as a maternity home for unmarried mothers! Anyone know?
