I was working as a midwife at the old Queens Park when both Alice from Accy and Harry from Harrod were found. I can't be 100% on the years, because I have slept since then but would estimate that it would be between 1992-1994 for the pair of them.

I don't know if the mothers were ever found but can't help thinking that those mums must have been in a desperate state to abandon their babies. Wish I could be more help but the memory of these events gets a bit hazy
