I gave birth to our first daughter, Beverley Jayne Clarkson at The Mount Maternity Home in Northallerton on January 2nd 1965 when my husband was stationed at RAF Topcliffe. In those days we spent 2weeks in hospital after giving birth?
Does anyone else have memories of their stay at around that time?

I had to stay in the mount for 10 days in 1980 the babies were taken away during the day to let you rest you were woken after an afternoon nap with home made scones. Whole different bay stem when I had my third child Alexander on 1/01/1993 the mount had closed and I delivered him at the friarage Hosp I only stayed In over night,. The mount was a fantastic place to give birth and to work fond memories

My oldest son was to be born there, and I actually spent a total of 22 days there in November/Dec. 1965. Steve was actually born at the Friarage via emergency C.Section, and I have always wanted to contact the Irish Nursing Sister (from the Mount) who literally saved my son's life. I don't know her name and if anyone does, I would love to hear from you. Thank you!
