    The whole point was to draw a veil over the name of any institution that was (or had been) a poor law institution, because of any stigma that might be attached to it. Hence these other names that were used, some of them invented specially for the purpose.

    For an explanation, please see here and scroll down to Willesden.

    Old habits die hard.
    My brother was born at Central Middlesex Hospital in 1948.
    As far as the family was concerned, he was born at Park Royal.

    They sure do John.

    My grandmother died there in 1953 - her death certificate says "Park Royal Hospital"

    My Great-grandfather died there in 1936 - his death certificate says "Twyford Lodge"

    G'day folks,

    I too was born at Twyford Lodge, Willesden, Urban District June 10 1944. Twyford Lodge was the maternity ward at Park Royal General Hospital. It may have some link to Twyford Abbey Rd which is/was close by

    Hi, my birth certificate says Twyford Lodge 2.3.1941 Willesden, Sub District Harlesden, County Middlesex, signed by Leonard Algar interim Registrar. Was just wondering what actually stands there now and would anyone have a photo of the present place.
    Thanks

    Default Twyford Lodge

    My relative was born in April 1929 at Twyford Lodge

    So although it became Park Royal Hospital was it still a workhouse?
