Racefield Hospital was were Racefield hamlet is now the buildings were converted into private homes You could try Royton Library to see if they have any info or go to www(.)oldham(.)gov(.)uk. and follow the link to local studies Bren |

Hello Sandra If you type 'Royton Hospital History' into search then click onto Oldham Council and Community info. you will find some publications for sale about the hospital. one is called 'History of Dr Kershaws cottage Hospital Royton Lancashire'. it looks like it could be either £2.25 or £6.50. I hope this is the correct Hospital for you Shirley |
