Durham County Council County Maternity Home, Princes Street, Bishop Auckland (Ref: H/SWD 443-456)

Prior to July 1948 the County Maternity Home provided obstetric services for patients whose ante-natal care had been monitored by local authority clinics and whose confinement was judged to be better conducted in the maternity unit than at home. After July 1948 the Home became part of the obstetric unit at Bishop Auckland General Hospital. The Home closed in 1972 and patients transferred to a new obstetric unit in Bishop Auckland General Hospital.
