Normanhurst home for 75 aged and partially handicapped people was opened in 1957. It was a purpose-built site on the western side of Sutton Road, Erdington.Viv.0C86080D-4F03-4EC2-A998-00D06290BDA3.jpeg

“In the 1950s and 1960s, the quality of nursing care steadily improved, with the mandatory introduction of central heating, single rooms and en-suite lavatories. In the 1980s, a significant shift from the public sector provision of care for the elderly to private sector homes occurred, with the proportion of private facilities increasing from just 18% in 1980 to 85% by the end of the twentieth century.”
