I don't recall the staff names but remember the nursery being on the left and having a big communal sitting room  on the right where the girls spent there time socialising after doing there designated jobs . How old would your twins be I recall we had to spend the first 6weeks  with the baby then the social worker would come and take the baby or babies and you would leave the same day . Must be so many people out there went through our experience which stays with you a lifetime . My e mail is * if you could send me the pic you have . Love sheila x

Jackie I wish you every success in the search for your twins if I could help you in any way please let me know were they born at Fairfield hospital .? In those days we were not given the support that young people get today we were removed from our family homes so no disgrace and shame was put on the family . Is the house on simpson hill still there ? I wonder if anyone has any pictures from the mother and baby home if they have and reading this please get in touch . Take care Jackie and get in touch any time . XX sheila

I was there in 1973 as a young 15 year old I found it quite traumatic I went to Fairfield hospital to have my son we returned back to simpson hill and I recall the baby nursery was downstairs and we were encouraged not to bond with the baby . I was fortunate I kept my son but life was always a struggle family disowned me for years .my son is now 41 and I never regretted my decision to keep him albeit he was fostered for some time I would not agree to adoption . I met many girls in my situation and often think of them was there anybody else there in 1973 . Love to share memories good or bad . Sheila x

I was at st Anne's on Simpson hill in 1973 it housed around 10 young expectant mothers I was 15 at the time and gave birth to my son at Fairfield general hospital in bury then we came back to st Anne's we spent 6 weeks with the baby then they were taken to foster parents or adoption . I kept my son would like to liaise with anyone who was at st Anne's or chat about what it was like .
Kind regards sheila
