I think that the Lister Hospital used to be in Hitchin just off Nightingale Rd and that there was also a Maternity Hospital somewhere else - Upper Brand St? Neither exist now, at least not in Hitchin. The Lister is what the big Stevenage Hospital is called nowadays.
I've just found www.hitchin.net. Perhaps you could post there.
Vague I know, but maybe it will help a little.

The maternity unit only transfered from Hitchin to Lister in Stevenage about 15 years ago. I work at Lister. The old Lister in Hitchin is now care of the elderly.

As well as the old Lister Hospital there was the Herts & Beds Hospital and Benslow Nursing Home.

Don't forget private maternity homes. There was a Benslow House in Hitchin operating in the 30s & probably others besides

My mother was born at the Maples Maternity Hospital, Bedford Road, Hitchin in 1933
It was pulled down a few years ago and although had not been used as maternity home for many years it was still used by NHS (as administration offices I think). The Maples stopped being used when the North Herts Maternity Hospital was opened next door. I think this was used until 1980 when it was transferred to Stevenage

Prior to the founding of the National Health Service a lot of the first babies of parents who could afford it were born in small local nursing/maternity homes.
