I was born on a door that my father and his brother had hastily removed from upstairs and taken to the basement of our house in Tunbridge Wells during an air raid in WWII. I don't have any pictures of the house since Herman Goering ensured that it no longer exists. I did once attempt to at least find the street, but by then Mum and Dad couldn't remember exactly where it was so that was a failure.
Apparently my delivery was rapid, which my Dad always ascribed to the air raid. "Nothing like a few bombs nearby to shift the little bugger!" he was fond of saying before being hospitalised again by Mum!

Walthamstow, London E.17. I have been told by my cousin that I would need a visa or a dispensation from the local Imam to stop by and snap a photo of the house I was born in, so sorry, no photo.

Here's my place of birth...not that there's ever been any Seventh day adventism in the family, just that it was a well regarded maternity hospital once upon a time.

Front upstairs bedroom 32 Leeds St, Sandown, Isle of Wight, September 1940 so I guess the Battle of Britain was taking place overhead, but I can't remember that. A few kms from where the other end of my life is taking place in Kingdom of Tonga, South Pacific. Still proud to be a Caulkhead.

The one with the gravel front (when I was there it had a privet hedge and a gate), the bedroom with the bay window.

My sister was well pleased - she got the day off school.

Myself, brother and sister and all my cousins were born in the same bed overlooking the Firth of Forth in the back room at 41 Edinburgh road Musselburgh. That was over a time frame from 1934/ 40. A significant number of Grants still live in that small stretch of road including 41.
