Nightingale Lane

Nightingale Lane is the birth place of Pochacco.

Real world context

It has been requested that this article or section is in need of additional information.
The article is missing: There might be answers to why Pochacco was born here in official Sanrio sources such as The Strawberry News.

It may refer to one of two locations; the Nightingale Lane (also known as Nightingale Square) on the borders of the Clapham South district (or within the Balham area) of south-west London, England, or the Nightingale Lane in Widmore, London of Greater London, which is part of the London Borough of Bromley.

While it is not known exactly why this is Pochacco's birth place, there were various historically important events here, including the involvement of royalty; so a place associated with high-class may have been fitting for Pochacco. In the late 1940s, at Nightingale Lane (Balham), the South London Hospital for Women and Children would purchase the Helensburgh House; the former residence of preacher/philanphropist Charles Haddon Spurgeon and convert it into a 30 bed maternity home. Situtated at 99 Nightingale Lane, this conversion was opened by Queen Elizabeth and known as The Queen Elizabeth Maternity Home of The South London Hospital for Women. After closing in 1984, it now provides sheltered retirment housing and is managed by Wandle Housing Association.[1][2]
