My Mother went in that home before she had her baby. Her baby was born in New Cross Hospital in January 1954, she never said if she was there over the Christmas period only that her mother sent her there so not to disgrace the family, her father was ok with her staying at home in West Bromwich, but her mother wasn't. I don't know how long mother and Baby stayed together but her daughter was born on the 3/Jan/1954 and was registered on the 29/Jan/1954 by my mother so it must have been after then, think Mum told me 6 weeks she was with her. Mum's occupation was listed as Shop assistant (film equipment wholesalers)
