One thing I remember being told about Fairfield, is that it was private, (you had to pay, even after 1947 when the NHS came into being) Also, not that this will be much help, was that my aunt was a nurse there. Her name was Jennie Louisa Longmore, but she passed a few years ago.

Hi, I was born at Fairfield Nursing Home in Fairfield Road in August 1952. I remember my mother talking about a Dr. Horrocks who was there at the time, they used to call him "Flannelfeet" because they could never hear his footsteps in the corridors.
I know the place was still open in 1961, because my cousin was born there at the end of December that year. If anyone has any photos, I would really appreciate seeing them   :)
