Hertfordshire / Re: Middlesex County Hospital, Bushey, Watford

Need some help please regarding Middlesex County Hospital. Have seen the questions and answers but need some more.
According to my birth certificate I was born there in March 1942. My mother's memory was of a large, old house with a spectacular staircase. The delivery room was in the library and she recalled that when she was leaving my father carried me down the stairs and she felt like dancing down as they did in the movies!!
I know that in the war many large country houses were taken over by the government and used as hospitals. I wonder if this is the case with this hospital. It would be nice to know if this was the case and where this house was/is.
Can anyone help me please?
