About the memorial: The plaque is fixed on a wall inside Cavell Court, which is a large block of Residential Flats that has a keypad security entry system. Cavell Court, Emily Gardens is now on the site of what was Freedom Fields Hospital. Freedom Fields Hospital was an acute hospital in Plymouth which closed in 1998 when services had been transferred to Derriford Hospital. In World War Two it was known as City Hospital. In 1948 the Hospital was renamed Freedom Fields Hospital when it joined the National Health Service. The building was bombed several times in attacks on the area during World War Two. Shortly after a new maternity block had been opened six nurses, other adults, children and babies were killed in that block on the night of 20th March 1941. The Freedom Fields Hospital site is now largely redeveloped for residential use.
