Call the Midwife. by happypat

Call the Midwife.

Many a woman staggered through this door in the 60's,70' & 80's about to give birth...Mount Street Hospital. Preston.
Hundreds of babies were born here & it was a nursing order of nuns that delivered the babies very like the Call the Midwife series on the TV at the moment.
A sorry end to the old place.
Oh what a shame - I wonder if they'll refurbish it into something useful?

@busylady Many of the old building s further down the street for instance the old Catholic College are now fancy offices but no one seems to have done anything here Judith.

All bricked up! Nobody probably knows what to do with it! There will be a modern one somewhere else.

It is sad to see buildings like this neglected and abandoned when they gave so much to many.

Sad ending for this building.These old buildings have a old of character and stories to tell to a lot of people. I wonder why they don't make use of these anymore for something else.

It is a sad end to a building that was so responsible for so many new lives

What unusual brickwork on the left of the door. The next season of Midwife starts here on Easter - can't wait!

@bpaquette Wow you get to see it in the USA I had no idea... I think we are on our last episode of series three next Sunday.

What a shame to see all the bricked up windows. There are some lovely features on the building.

Oh I was a bit late with Call the Midwife! What a shame for a great old building. They converted the old hospital in Cambridge into a Business School - I'm sure this would convert into something great.

Sad to see it all blocked off. But maybe that's just protection until the new plan is implemented.

How sad...sad also what has happened at least in the states to care for mothers and babes
