Baby

Age: 0

Sex: male

Date: 9 Apr 1920

Place: Vane Hill

The body of a newly-born female child was found behind some railings surrounding a piece of waste ground at Vane Hill On Tuesday 6 April 1920.

The parcel that the baby was wrapped up in was first noticed by a nurse who had left the Nursing Home at Vane Hill where she worked at about noon to go into town. When she returned at about 12.45pm the parcel was still there. however, it looked bulky and out of reach and so she told the matron about it. Later the nurse and another woman went back for it and the other woman scaled the railings and passed the parcel out.
