Not wishing to be picky but my younger daughter was born in what was known as "PMH" for those who lived nearby.

Sadly a change in circumstances meant a move away from the Swindon area in the early 1990's (before the Designer Outlet shopping mall existed) but I do go back from time-to-time. It is very sad to see what has become of the Wroughton site, not sure what state it was in when I lived nearby but I never had the time or money to enquire about visiting back then. It was also a shock to find a massive new hospital had been built on the other side of town and the old Princess Margaret Hospital had been demolished - I don't recall a Princess Alexandra hospital nearby !

Apparently the new hospital had only the same number of beds as the old one and was soon full to capacity, little wonder in view of the way that Swindon has grown over the past 25 years
