Day Nursery at High Street to Be Rebuilt and Staffed
The Day Nursery of the National India Rubber Co at High and Bourn streets will be remodeled and fully equipped for child care. Capt Read, Bristol shipmaster, built the property and it later passed to Deacon Spooner. Mrs Farrington leased it, now to be operated with a matron from the former Superintendent of Fall River homes for aged women and trained nurses. The project aims to relieve parental worry by providing reliable nurseries for children.
