I was born there in 1950. I have been told that I was large (10lb) and battered and bruised. The nurses wanted my parents to name me after Bruce ?, a well known boxer of the day.

Don’t know the number but that is where I was born on 8th January 1952 . Almost didn’t make it , they had to get the vicar in quickly to christen me . After that the nurses used to refer to me as “there goes the dead baby “. 70 years later I am fit and going strong .

I was born there on the 23rd December 1952. I remember my mother telling me this. We lived in 23 Guisborough Road Thornaby-On-Tees until my family emigrated to Victoria Australia in 1963 on the 10 pound scheme. Sadly my mother passed away 2 years ago at age 93

I was born here July 6th 1935 and remember my mother telling me the story of when my younger brother was born at the Robson Maternity Home in 1940 during an air raid attack, when Mrs Harold McMillan carried my brother down to the air raid shelter. I believe the building is now a Hotel called the Stork Inn.
