The Old Ashburton website (
https://www.oldashburton.co.uk/health-and-disease.php) has a paragraph about the Abbotsbury Nursing Home in Ashburton. It probably already says everything there is to say about it (including a picture of the location), but if anyone can add to it I'll appreciate it. I was born there in April 1943. My mother didn't live in Ashburton but in Newton Abbot, but in 1943 you had to be born where you could find a bed.
