Hello all
I was a pupil midwife in the late 50's at Loveday street Maternity
On the photographs which someone has posted the Salvation Army Hostel was first on the right
Next was the nurses home and then the hospital
The curved building at the end was for staff too
The hospital was for abnormal or problem births
It wasn't an iron lung that that baby was in it was an incubator with piped oxygen
The nurses home was directly opposite the theatre window (bay window) of the General Hospital as it was then
Its now the Children's Hospital
Happy times there and also at Tamworth Hospital ,Dudley Road Hospital and Good Hope before delivering
babies at home in Nuneaton for some years amongst other duties
It is possible for next of kin to obtain a stillbirth Cerificate from the General Register Office at Southport price about £11
