Does anyone know if there was a home/hostel/hospital located in New Row West, Coleraine?
I have found something on the 1924 Street Directory called the "Babies Club and Dispensary" listed as New Row in Coleraine. Would this have been a place for unmarried mothers or simply a clinic type place? I have a birth cert for someone in 1929, which gives New Row West, Coleraine as place of birth but the family were not living in Coleraine at that time, so it made me wonder if there was a reason why one of the family would all the way to Coleraine to have a baby?
