Hi everyone, I know the last post was some time ago but I am just in the process of looking into my dads history. We know he was born in Sept 1955 at St Annes Maternity Home, Simpson Hills, Heywood. I believe he was with his mum for around 6 weeks before being adopted. I have been trying to find if the building still exists and if not, what happened to it. I am also interested to know how adoption worked in the 1950s - we have no record of his father at all.

Does anyone know if babies were born at the home itself or at a hospital?

Any information on any of the above would be great
