where did lucy letby live

Lucy Letby is reported to have lived in several places linked to different stages of her life and career, mainly in Hereford and later in Chester, near the Countess of Chester Hospital.

Early life: where she grew up

  • Lucy Letby grew up in a three-bedroom semi‑detached house on Arran Avenue, a quiet cul‑de‑sac in the market town of Hereford, near the River Wye.
  • Neighbours described the street and her upbringing as very ordinary and middle‑class, which later contrasted sharply with the crimes she was convicted of.

During her nursing career

  • After leaving Hereford to train and then work as a children’s nurse, she moved to Chester in Cheshire for nursing training and placements at Liverpool Women’s Hospital and the Countess of Chester Hospital.
  • She initially lived in staff accommodation at Ash House linked to the Countess of Chester Hospital before later moving to a flat in Chester for around six months.

Home near the hospital

  • In April 2016 she bought a house on Westbourne Road in Chester, described as being about a 20‑minute walk from the neonatal unit where she worked at the Countess of Chester Hospital.
  • This Westbourne Road address became widely reported after police footage showed her being arrested there just after 6am on 3 July 2018.

Where she is now

  • Following her conviction in 2023 for murdering seven babies and attempting to murder others, Letby was held in high‑security women’s prisons; as of early 2024 she has been reported as being held at HM Prison Bronzefield in England.
  • These prison placements are part of the UK high‑security estate for serious offenders and are not “homes” in the usual sense but are the latest locations connected to her life story.
