Has anyone come across this in their research? I believe that my grandfather was there in 1913. I have several postcards that he sent to my grandmother saying 'feeling much better'. So I assume it was a nursing home of some form. This was some distance from his home town in North Staffordshire. Many Thanks Anne in North London |

Suzanne, That makes my mystery deepen. My Grandfather eventually died in 1920 from TB having been discharged fron the RAF. I will try and google it again later, I didn't have much success earlier. Many thanks for the information Anne |

My FIL contracted TB and he was sent from Cheshire to a sanatorium in Cumbria. It was thought that the bracing air was more condusive to the healing than being in the smoke and smog ridden towns. Linda |
