I was born at Simpson Hill in June 1949.  As far as I know it was a home for unmarried mothers who went there to have their birth.  have recollections of going back Christmas Day each year from when I was around 9 to 12 it could have been longer.  I remember a lady we called Matron and also someone called Miss Wiffin.  We used to go for Christmas tea and the spread was wonderful looked like a proper farmhouse/stately home kitchen to me. When the home closed Matron and Miss Wiffin  lived in Heywood and I remember visiting them again Christmas Time. My Mum died last year but she wouldn't talk very much about my past.  I always think of this at Christmas Day
