Aerial view of the Infirmary probably 1930's?

Ron. I believe towards the top right hand corner is the building "The Christopher Home". My son was born there in early 1964.

Is it still situated there, or not?.

Albert yes it is the Christopher Home It was a Private hospital at one time and yes it's still there.

No sign of tramlines or gantries, so probably 1930s or later as you say, Ron.

The houses opposite haven't been built. Does anyone know when they were built?

you can see only the infirmary and its buildings have somehow been highlighted

I do believe the Christopher Home has been demolished quite recently
