Abbotsbury Nursing Home, Ashburton
« on: Thursday 28 September 23 09:52 BST (UK) »
The Old Ashburton website (https://www.oldashburton.co.uk/health-and-disease.php) has a paragraph about the Abbotsbury Nursing Home in Ashburton. It probably already says everything there is to say about it (including a picture of the location), but if anyone can add to it I'll appreciate it. I was born there in April 1943. My mother didn't live in Ashburton but in Newton Abbot, but in 1943 you had to be born where you could find a bed.
