As part of our Birth Stories project, Emily has been in the archives!

An article from Berrow’s Worcester Journal in 1934 celebrates the opening of the new maternity unit at Worcester Royal Infirmary and provides a wonderful description of the ward's decor. The ward contained just six beds and was reserved for doctor’s cases “in which special care and attention are called for to ensure safe delivery”. The ward was opened by Lucy Baldwin, a prominent activist for specialist maternity care for all mothers (regardless of social class), having opened the Lucy Baldwin Maternity Home in Stourport five years previously.

From closing today we will remain closed for a full week, while we empty some cabinets and install some new displays.

Standing on Croft Road with your back to Worcester Racecourse in the late 1990s, you would be to the right of the entrance to the back of the former Worcester Royal Infirmary on Castle Street. The viaduct is to your right, The Hive hasn't been built yet, and the old nurses' home is still there. Now the site of current Worcester University of Worcester students, Chancellor Hall.

Aside from some brilliant training and our new visit map on our webpage to help you plan your visit, we've just received the first of what will be a number of improvements for in-person visits to the museum displays. First off, we have a brand new large print guide and a beautiful Braille guide put together for us by RNIB. A massive thanks to Visit Worcestershire for the funding to be able to make these accessibility improvements!

Find them on the little leaflet desk inside the museum's doors.
