Northamptonshire / Re: N0RTHAMPTON - Home for illegitimate babies
« on: Tuesday 07 March 17 10:59 GMT (UK)  »
I was 17 years old when I was sent away to Northampton at 5 months pregnant, by my parents who were living in RAF quarters in North London. I stayed at Elmleigh for the duration of the pregnancy until my son was born in Northampton General Hospital in 1980.  I was unable to go through with the adoption so kept my son.  I remember Lady Glover turning up possibly once a week - I always remember her number plate GLO 1 and thought how posh she must be.  I have no recollection of having to work during my stay other than possibly assist with meals and laying tables.  I have no idea whether my parents had to pay for my stay - they were not particularly well off and I had always assumed it had been arranged via social services?  I am now 54 years old.
