GrinderBloke Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 I was born at Jessops 30th December 1962 just a little early as I wasn't due until sometime in March 1963. I am very thankful to Jessops, being born so early and during one of the worst winters in many years. If it wasn't for Jessops I wouldn't be here now. I would love to get my medical records, bet they have all been lost with the demolition of Jessops :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest plain talker Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 I was born in Jessops hospital in the heat wave of june 1976, the hospital has now been demolished and is in process of redevelopment, are there any more jessops babies out there???? http://www.picturesheffield.com/cgi-bin/pi...ff.refno=s17601 the bit of Jessops in the photo, that you linked to, AFAIK is still standing. that part is listed, to the best of my knowlege. (it's the post-war/ inter war part that's been demolished) I wasn't born in Jessops, myself (a Nether Edge baby, me!) but my two younger sisters were both born in Jessops, as were my aunt's two children. We hold a very special affection for the SCBU (Special Care Baby Unit) as my youngest sister (born 1977) spent the first few weeks of her life in there as a "prem". She turns 30 in December, and has a child of her own, now. My aunt had two "prem" deliveries, a 30-week girl, in 1973, weighing in at 4lbs-and- loose change! and a 26-week boy, in 1986, weighing just 2lbs 2oz (exactly one kilo). Both children are fine, strapping adults, now. All thanks to Jessops SCBU keeping them alive through those crucial first few months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

student nurse Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 I was born in Jessops hospital in the heat wave of june 1976, the hospital has now been demolished and is in process of redevelopment, are there any more jessops babies out there???? http://www.picturesheffield.com/cgi-bin/pi...ff.refno=s17601 my son was born at Jessops in 1985. When pregnant with my daughter some 11 years later i requested Jessops for her birth. my GP said no as second babies always arrive quicker than the first. I was in labour for 22 hours with her! I could have gone to America and back in that time and still had time to get back from the airport!!!! I had her at NGH instead not a patch on the old Jessops. he he Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheffield History Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 The area has changed so much it's hard to believe a hospital was ever there.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sheffield Steve Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 I was born in this hospital back in the 60's. It broke my heart when I discovered it was being demolished. I cried - I mean really cried. Part of Sheffield's history and my own personal history gone forever for yet ANOTHER University project. Breaks my heart. At least Henderson's pickle factory is still across the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sheffield Steve Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 there's too many characterless monstrosities being thrown up in our city! Couldn't agree more. Look at that horrific steel fountain on Sheaf Square for example. Makes my heart bleed mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bayleaf Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 The old original building is listed and can't be demolished. I went past the other day and they seem to be building all the way round it instead so the old place is disappearing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
