I was born in Dec 1957. I was brought up in Church until I was nine when we moved up the slope into Accy. Havng spotted this thread I decided to ask my Mum at the weekend why I was born at Bull Hill in Darwen. She told me it was because she didn't go and see the doctor (Pittard) until she was 4 months pregnant and was told that Rough Lee was full and the nearest Bull Hill was the nearest place! She said "in those days you didn't bother the doctor unless you really had to".
