Perivale Maternity Hospital
I was born Penelope Anne Ashton one hour and three quarters after my twin sister. It was March 1944 and we were born in Perivale Maternity Hospital. We were taken from the hospital to our family home in Uxbridge Road, Ealing. Our house was bombed out just months later and we were evacuated out.
I've never seen even a photo of Perivale Maternity Hospital, nor do I know the road it was in. I was told it too was bombed during the war. And that it was no longer there. I wonder if any one else has a photo and can tell me more about it.
I have grown up in Australia but have visited back home several times Would love to know where to look for the hospital next time I come.

I grew up in Northolt, but we lived nearer South Harrow, so we spent a lot of time there.
It has closed now, so don't know what the building is now. I thought it was an old peoples home at one stage.
Hope you fid out some more information
Good luck

RE: RE: Perivale Maternity Hospital
I recently obtained from Ealing History Library a photocopy of Perivale Maternity Hospital - also pictures of the delivery theatre - I do not know the website, I went in person to the library but I am sure they would be happy to help you. I no longer have the copy having passed it on but I hope this helps.
