The Firs

The Firs is now a care home for the elderly, but was previously a maternity hospital. The day the 1948 London Olympics opened was blazingly hot, something my mother never forgot as I was born somewhere in the building straight ahead on that day. The eaves of one of the more recently-built parts of The Firs take up the top right quarter of the picture, unfortunately, but also made it possible to take an east-pointing picture early on a bright May morning.
