Nurse Russell Maternity hospital 38 Knights Rd L.Hutt

Matron and Nurse Mildred Sarah Russell opened 38 Knights Rd LHutt as a private maternity home 1923-1944 when she retired.
Her own son Kevin James Russell was born there 1925.
Her sister Lottie May ie Mrs Fred Corn Humphrey worked here too.

Am interested in further history of this building and the people involved. Photo of Nurse M S Russell and 38 Knights Road Hospital with Matron Mildred in her whites at the step.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
