Cuckfield Hospital Maternity, Bolney Ward

A Memory of Cuckfield.

In March 1976 I gave birth to my eldest son Richard. We were living in East Grinstead at the time. I met some lovely people during this time. One of the other mums I met there has to this day remained a friend. My memories of Cuckfield Hospital are of a lovely friendly village hospital not like the huge sterile hospital I gave birth to my other son. About 8 years ago I returned to Sussex and visited the hospital and to my suprise it still looked how I had remembered it but perhaps smaller! I couldnt believe it when I spotted one of the lovely nurses a small Eastern lady who actually remembeted me! What a lovely experience. My son who I had told of Cuckfield where he was born actually went and had a look himself. One doctor I do remember was an absolute gorgeous young doctor called Dr. skip all I can remember was that he hopefully wouldn't be in the labour room when my time came! What wonderful memories I have and so glad I went back before they demolished it for a new residential area. Since then I have lived in different places in the world but Cuckfield will always hold very happy memories.
