Finisham Maternity Hospital

Matron, played by Hattie Jacques, stands in front of ‘Finisham’ Maternity Hospital at the opening of Carry on Matron (1972). Interior shooting took place at Pinewood Studios. Heatherwood Hospital in Berkshire provided the location for the exterior shots of Finisham. Founded in 1922, Heatherwood was taken over by the NHS as a general hospital. Its birth unit closed in 2011 due to staff shortages.
