Just discovered this correspondence. I was born at Mother Levy’s on 10th February 1933 and lived in the East End until I was evacuated to the country in September 1939.

Like my sister,Rebecca, I went to Robert Montefiore school. A terrible terrible shame about this wonderful building. Is anything safe anymore ?

I went to Robert Montefiore near by in the early 60’s we used the clinic as was called then for minor injuries,also terrible dentist,and was also used as a baby clinic.I also used to get my younger brothers concentrated orange juice there especially for young ones. It’s a tragic shame it was such a unique building not hardly any left nothing is safe nowadays. And a BIG thank you to Tom Ridge for all his efforts

My brother and I were born at Mother Levys nursing home. I recall my mother telling us of the care and devotion given by the nurses and staff. When I lived in Perth Australia there was a building earmarked for demolition, after a massive campaign the facade was moved to another location at the top of a hill for all to see. Pity the same could not be done for Mother Levy’s.

I was born at Mother Levy’s home July 3 1928. Education, broken by Second World War, at Stepney Jewish School. Would like to contact boys of that era.

I have just come across this article as I was searching for my family roots. Mother Levis Nursing Home became a myth like story when I was a child, having been born there myself an it’s a real shame it no longer exists.

I can’t say I’m surprised though, as vandalism in the building and property trades seem to be embedded in their haste to get an immediate profit, instead of proper planning and management where everyone can benefit.

How can anyone bury such valuable history in a heap of rubble. My grandparents lived in the East End and my father was born in Whitechapel – is there no sense of heritage anymore?
