Fairby Grange Convalescent Home was formally opened on
July 26th by the Rt. Hon. John Wheatley, M.P., Minister of Health.
The ceremony was very successful, a large number of visitors being
present, including the Mayor, the Chairman and Members of the
Maternity and Child Welfare Committee, Dr. Alfred Salter —the
donor of the Home, many members of the Council and representatives
of other Borough Councils and bodies.
The Home is still found to be of very great benefit to the mothers
of Bermondsey and has been taken full advantage of during the
year. Some difficulty was found in getting mothers to go there
during the winter months of December and January, so some
relaxation was made during these months of the Council's decision
not to allow anyone but a mother and one infant to go.
From the actual date of the opening of the Home, namely,
September Ist, 1923, until the end of the year under report, the
admissions to the Home were as follows : —
Mothers 352
Babies 235
Toddlers 130
