My Brother in Law was born at Ashridge House Maternity Hospital (Hertfordshire) in 1941. His parents lived in Chingford, Essex at the time.
I have found out that expectant mothers attending Charing Cross Hospital, London would be sent to Ashridge Park about a week before the birth of a child was expected and remained there for a minimum of two weeks afterwards. This was in order to keep the mothers and babies out of the heavily bombed areas for a period of time.
Is any other information available especially photographs please?
