Brunswick Nursing Home - Cambridge UK

I just received a Certified Copy of an Entry of Birth from the General Register Office in England for my great aunt.  She was born in 1929 in Cambridge.  Her place of birth was listed as the Brunswick Nursing Home.  I did a Google search on both the US and UK sites and was unable to find any current institution by that name.  I decided to inquire on Ancestry.com and with the local library in Cambridge.  Luckily I got a quick reply by Sue Slack, Local Studies Assistant over the Cambridgeshire Collection at the Cambridge Central Library.  She sent me the following resources which helped me learn more of Brunswick Nursing Home and its locale and a final photo I found on the Cambridge 2000 project website.
