Semon Emergency Maternity Hospital

The Semon Convalescent Home 1900
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

I was born at the Semon Emergency Maternity Hospital in 1943 even though my parents lived in Bradford at the time.
I have always assumed this was because of the threat of bombing during the war, though I have never been sure if this is correct.
I viewed an map of Ilkley at the time recently and noted where the Hospital once stood, and have since been to see the location and wondered what it must have looked like in the surrounding area at that time.
It would be interesting to know if any records still exist of the births at the Hospital.

A memory of Ilkley in West Yorkshire shared on Friday, 20th August 2010.
