Thank you so much for your reply. I am so sorry your birth mother did not wish to meet you, perhaps she is still filled with the "shame" which was heaped upon us during those days and is frightened to admit what happened to the family she has now. If Lynne were to contact me I would be over joyed. I have been blessed with two more lovely daughters and a very understanding husband but, it is only now that I have been able to talk  freely about it without feeling the dreadful embarrassment and shame which my parents felt I had brought upon them.

Hi there, I gave birth to a baby girl at Fairfield Nursing Home on the 17th December 1961. I was 16 years old and she was taken from me the moment I gave birth so I never saw her face or held her in my arms. I would love to speak with anyone who worked there or lived in the area during that period. Lynne (my baby) was adopted and I was given no choice in the matter by my parents. Having been told I should get on with my life and forget it ever happend.

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   :)
