fentonvillain Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Is there anyone reading his who was born in Norton Annexe ? And who was born there in March 1942? On the 17th?

tozzin Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 My wife went there in the Norton Annexe in 1966 after having our son in Jessops, I think by then it had changed to Jessops Annexe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you were born in the old Norton Hall Orangery fentonvillain! that's one up on me and Lysanderix. We both spent time in the Workhouse maternity ward! I was there in 1946. After the bombing of Jessops Hospital in 1940, the Colonnade(orangery) at Norton Hall came into emergency use as a maternity unit. Nether Edge Hospital, formally the Ecclesall Union Workhouse became a hospital in 1938. Photographs from www.picturesheffield.com 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmund Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 My mum's Auntie Nellie Ryalls died there of pulmonary tuberculosis aged 50 in 1945. Mum remembered being taken to see her aunt in hospital three times. It was a tram ride to Meadowhead (she nearly got knocked down by a car when she went round the back of the tram). There was then a walk across a park probably Graves Park. The whole of one wall was open to the elements, despite the snow and both patients and visitors were wrapped up well. As well as treating TB it, had a special provision for the treatment of puerperal sepsis in an open air ward. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for that, Southside. I've often wondered which bit of the building they should put the blue plaque on ! Bit of a downer coming home to a 2 up-2 down in Fentonville St after that !
