Nurses on Steps at Avonside, 1940. Taken by an uncle at the time I was born. My Aunt was a midwife sent to Avonside at the beginning of the war, when it was temporarily used as a nursing home for evacuee pregnant mothers.

It’s December 2020 and I would like to thank my aunt back row right for bringing me into this world when she delivered me and announced to my mother “it’s a boy” at this beautiful place 80 years ago. Yes I am still in the land of the living, moved to New Zealand 55 years ago. Been back twice, to this home – my birth place, which is still as lovely as ever, although I don’t remember it at the time naturally!
