This Nursing Home was at 24, Albany Park Road. A total of
twelve beds to accommodate chronic and senile patients were
available, and the Nursing Home was under the charge of Miss Roe.
In January, 1939, this Nursing Home was removed from the register.
In March, 1942, a Private Nursing Home was opened
at 20 Grove Crescent called the Nonsuch Nursing Home, under the
direction of Miss Colclough Hoey. This Nursing Home has seven
beds for chronic and senile patients.
In March, 1942, a Private Maternity Home was opened
at 6 Queens Road, under the charge of the Matron, Miss M.Keene.

Borough Surveyor, and the Medical Officer of Health, and the
proprietors were required to carry out certain alterations and
improvements before registration was effected.
