Your Place Of Birth.

[mongers]

Where were your born; have you ever been back to the place ?

This is were I was born:




Out exploring this evening I has passing through the next but one town up the valley from where I live, when I though I should checkout where I was born, I'd never thought to do this before.

Thought I'd found it at the old cottage hospital in the town, still used by the NHS, but on enquiries from my mother, it turns out I was born in separate house, a mile or two out of town. 

From a quick googling, it appears to have been the mid-Victorian mansion of the local mill magnate, mill as it grain rather than textiles.
In 1948 it became a cottage hospital, I presume mainly used as a maternity ward, later changing to a nursing home and in the last few years transformed into a luxury flat complex.

I may make a trip to visit in in the next few days, as it's only just over the downs from here.

So what part if any has you're place of birth played in your life following your birth ?

Me neither.  Drove past it many, many times.  Took an arrest there once or twice.  Meh.  Just a hospital.

[Viking]

NHS John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford England. The maternity ward had been open for less than 12 months and I was the largest baby ever born there. They also ended up putting my mom's maiden name on my birth certificate; this is a problem when you remember that icelandic names are patronyms, so apparently the hospital thought I was my maternal grandfather's daughter.

[Admiral Yi]

So your legal name is Viking Helgasdottir? 

[Razgovory]

I was born out of my mother's vagina.  It never occurred to me to try to get back in.
