Call the Midwife.

Anyone watching? Dr smug unfortunately appears fully recovered from the train crash.

There's still a lot of stigma around single mothers even now, I had my dd in 2006 on my own and had some awful comments said to me. Bearing in mind, I was 26yo so not a teenager!

Some mothers at the NCT groups wouldn't speak to me and a lot of women were very suspicious of me.

I like the Nancy and her daughter storyline but am not convinced by it at all. There would have been a lot more shame and judgement imo.

Sounds fabulous I’d love it.

I wish I could remember important stuff as well as I can random episodes of CTM! 😂

I remember that episode, it was heartbreaking. The “workhouse howl” 😢

Really interesting to see behind the scenes, Trinity65, I’d certainly be happy to see more of your photos.

I don't remember that ever happening to me when I had mine in 1980. Before the birth I was asked if I was intending to keep the baby but it wasn't mentioned again in hospital. People might have talked about me behind my back but not to my face and I was never aware of it.

I was at school with a number of girls who got pregnant under the age of 16 between about 1983 and 1985. One had a shotgun marriage before the baby arrived and the other two kept their babies and brought them up as single young parents. Sadly all three did get a lot of gossip and stigma for their choices.

I myself was born in 1968 to a young mother whose parents forced her to give me up for adoption. She went on to marry my father when she was old enough to do so without parental consent.

Yes that was it
The workhouse howl :(

Look at this -loads of photos from the set, seems to be one of those urban explorers sites. It’s all there- Nonnatus house outside and in, Violet’s shop, the surgery, the maternity home..

Fantastic photos
Makes such a difference how they use the lighting on the tripods too

This photo from my visit is the road they filmed the first episode on, with Jenny arriving in Poplar. I recall she broke up a fight with two very pregnant ladies and one was played by the actress who is now Karen in EastEnders. The fence to the right was where the black lady went into labour, on the stairs, in the episode where the white neighbour helped her to give birth, despite her prior prejudice.

I won't share anymore in case folk want to go, but if anyone would like to see them I can send you in a message.

Nancy needs a boyfriend now, why have they forgotten her love life?

I doubt I’ll get ever get there, so I’d love it if you could PM me a couple of more, if it’s not too much trouble 😊

Can you share them on the thread? Even if I go I'd love to see them.

The Potting Shed where Reggie liked to be when he was at a "Home"

Ah...

Lovely seeing these.

These last ones are just in General at the Dockyard apart from the ship front.

That was that rather disturbing early episode of the Dutch girl who gave birth and she was there to satisfy the needs of the sailors and her Father was the Captain. I think she was Dutch. Series 1 I think so a long time ago

Last one
An American vehicle that had been used in filming of a show that I don't know the name of

@Trinity65 I had that guide every time I went. I'm scared to go again in case I get her again 🤣

😆😆

Oh no - Cyril is back alone 😢😢

The Lucille/ Cyril story is ridiculous. She'd never have abandoned him.

I really like Cyril
