Hi Everyone,
What a shock my daughter was looking up st johns hospital history in Lincoln and i said look up The Quarry .She found this forum showing pictures and peoples comments on the place.I was told this place had been demolished as i really did not know where it was.My mother was sent there in 1952 and had me on christmas eve.My grandmother came to collect my mother .I was told that i was going to be given up for adoption but my grandmother change her mind and took us both home.Where she was a big influence in my life and brought me up, i loved her dearly.It was very emotional seeing the building where i was born.I can recollect being told that the women scrubbed floors and they where very strict with them.Also when giving birth was on a board over a roll top bath.As i know where it is now my daughters going to take me as i feel i need to go and hopefully see it.
