Perivale And The Maternity Hospital

I grew up in Michigan USA, but my grandparents purchased a home in Perivale in the 1930s and it backed up to the property of the Perivale Maternity Hospital. My mom and my 2 aunts spent their youth, including teen years, in that house. It was one of my aunt's homes until about 10 years ago.

My mom emigrated to the States in the mid 1950s, married and had 3 children. We were fortunate to have been able to visit my aunt/uncle and cousins in Perivale quite a few times during my life. I can picture the Maternity Hospital now. It consisted of a few brown brick buildings, maybe 3-4 stories tall and the setting was very green and spacious. I can't remember exactly when it was torn down, but the local council turned the property into a housing development. I think it's been housing for at least 15 years.

Some of the best memories of my life occurred in Perivale.
