Ilkley, Yorkshire, He was taking the waters. It was St Winifred's Nursing Home when I was born there, they even have a Blue Plaque, though it is for Darwin, not me. The Hydro where he was taking the waters became a teacher's training College, that's where I got the missus from. No plaque there.

Royal Maternity Hospital, 163 Rottenrow, Glasgow (Now demolished)

Like Farmer John I have not got a photograph but I think they knocked the area down and put up a Parking Lot, I wonder if I could write a song about it, could be a hit. my Mother shipped us down to Malmesbury after the first bombing raid on Newcastle thinking it would be safer, unfortunately she did not take into account that it was on the direct route for German Aircraft bombing Bristol. We were on a Coach one day when one of the German aircraft decided use it for target practice, there were a number killed and many injured, fortunately myself, my Mother and my siblings got away with a few cuts from the shattered glass.

Ah, the same place as gulpers but my picture shows what is left of the original building.
People make Glasgow!!!!

I was born in 1946 in this rather grand house.
It had been converted into a nursing home during the war and had been the home of a VERY famous singer of the time.
Where is it? and Who was the famous singer?

Born here in 1946. Stafford General Infirmary (SGI.)

Top one took in 1992 and the building hadn't really changed at all. Bottom one shows it now. Much of the building gone and only the centre section left which is now offices. Red brick monstrosity to the left is a Currys. (There used to be a physiotherapy unit where that is and you could hear bikers screaming throughout the night as physio's practiced their dark arts down there.)

But I see there is a blue plaque to mark your arrival.

Well. I always thought I was born in Tynemouth infirmary. Told everyone that, put it on all relevant forms and data when required. Then about 5 year back we were at a family funeral, passing where Tynemouth Infirmary used to stand which is now flats. For want of anything to say to break up the funeral car silence I said to my daughter about 15 at the time, "see them flats, that's where your dad was born, used to be Tynemouth Infirmary".
My Mam piped up, "No you weren't.
"Course I was" I retorted, "I've put it on every bloody form I ever had to fill in for the last 47 years or so".
"Well you weren't were you, it was in a nursing home somewhere in North Shields, can't remember the name though, and I should know I had you" said Mam.
Daughter has of course never let me forget that I don't know where I was born. "Could have been anywhere" is the sinister point she keeps making.

Sorry but no.
It is The Towers in Bishop's Avenue (Millionaire's Mile) Hampstead.
It was the home of Gracie Fields.
Long gone now and replaced by a huge mansion owned by middle eastern interests.

Not exactly in a stable, but on a farm at least. A little village called St Cyrus, just north of Montrose on the east coast of Scotland. It was 1947, and the last farm where my Father used horses. I can just remember sitting on a pile of sacks at the front of a cart "driving" the horse - well, holding the reins anyway!

Picture is me with my Grandmother.

Born in Dalblair Nursing Home on Dalblair Road, Ayr. The building was eventually knocked down and a Volkswagen Agency erected in its place. Needless to say, I bought my first VW Passat station wagon there!

I was born in 1951 at the Maycroft Nursing Home, Woodford Road, Wanstead, Essex. If you look it up on the web, you will find that Harry Roberts, who was jailed for the murder of 2 policemen at Braybrook Street, Shepherds Bush, was also born there. His parents were the landlord and lady of the George Hotel, Wanstead. (I went to Wanstead High School, just down the road in Redbridge Lane West. A famous alumni of my old school is Ronnie O'Sullivan, the snooker player,who's father did time for murder.)

Nice place, Wanstead. Very quiet.
