Born and raised in Lewisham, now I live in... look, there's no easy way to say this… now I live in Norbury. There. I bloody well said it. And I've never seen a single Palace fan all the time I've been here. Not one.
British Home for Mothers & Babies (according to my wife who was born there).
As was I and that's what my mum used to call it Mrs CE which was roughly a mile from the Valley :-) However research reveals that it was originally known as the Home for Mothers and Babies founded in 1905 and became the British Hospital for Mothers and Babies in 1915 following a merger with The British Lying-In Hospital, prompting a move from Wood St (Woodhill St) to a new building in Samuel St opened by Queen Mary in 1922 , Locals must have favoured calling it a combination of the two.
