born there in 1943

I was born in The Semon Emergency Hospital August 1943 and often wondered what it looked like and why I was actually born there and not in Bradford which is where my birth mother lived at the time, unless she was visiting Ilkley and was taken there as an emergency. I was adopted soon after birth.  But have since met up with my half siblings. Both birth parent and adoptive parents are now deceased and so I never found out how I came to be born there.
