I don't think it would hurt to share the photo so long as it has no copyright expressly stated. It closed in 1986.

Thankyou, happy memories, I have a pic of me and my daughter right in front there when I was discharged! Did they actually pull it down, or convert it?

(I don't live there, I'm in Brighton so don't know the area any more.)

I believe it was pulled down rather than converted ...

Just found this link re St Teresa's, showing the town house development of 'Southridge Place' where the hospital once stood.

Also interesting links to other papers/documents at the bottom of the above link ...

Lovely to see this, as I too was a St Teresa's baby and my mother was sent there from Battersea too. No prizes fr guessing my middle name  ;D

I was born in St Teresa's Hosp in Feb 1957. I see on this chat that several born there were adopted, and I think I was too. I have applied to get my birth information from GRO. Can any others who were born there and adopted tell me how they found out, got information etc. Thanks

Hi tashi57

Welcome to Rootschat  ;D

Is this the link you followed to get your birth certificate?

https://www.gov.uk/adoption-records

or did you find your birth name in the birth index and just apply that way?

If you were adopted, then the GRO can help with access to your files. As you were born in 1957, you will have to go through an intermediary /counselling service.

Hope this helps

I gave birth to my daughter at St Teresa's in October 1985. Although there were nuns around I had the impression that most of the nursing was done by 'lay'women. I had a room, previously occupied by Sara Keays who had given birth to a child by the then Tory minister for Trade and Industry, Cecil Parkinson. The 'scandal' forced him to resign from the (Thatcher) government shortly afterwards. I would be grateful if I could be sent a picture via Facebook of St Teresa's as I noticed someone mentioned they had a photo of it. Thank you. Elizabeth
