New House

Welcome home a new arrival from Bexley Maternity Hospital and share in the joy it brings a South London family

South London, Bexleyheath, and one of life's most memorable occasions is captured on celluloid. After mother and new-born leave the Bexley Maternity Hospital - then part of the NHS and closed in 1978 - the films paints a wonderful portrait of 1960s domesticity. Scenes show the new arrival meeting older sister and grandparents, as well as ice cream eating and games in the garden.

This film is from the collection of Bexley Local Studies and Archives, a member of the London's Screen Archives Network.
