Semon Emergency Maternity Hospital
A Memory of Ilkley.
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.

I would like to know where the house actually stood. At the moment I am living in Ilkley and could go and find the site, if anyone knows where it was.
Or whether there are any more memories of it?
I live in Australia and am searching birth records and my original family. I am told I am related to Sir Titus Salt. Thank you for any information.
