WW1 Auxilliary hospitals
Forgive me if this has been mentioned before, but after watching The Village on TV I started browsing t'internet and stumbled across the fact that there was an Auxilliary home hospital in Baxenden. Now I knew about Elmfield Hall but knew nothing of the Baxenden unit. Does anyone know where it was located?

Re: WW1 Auxilliary hospitals
Thank you so much for the replies. This must be the same hospital unit often referred to as the smallpox hospital. The site is indeed within the grounds of Hollins school, between the rear of the school buildings and the old railway. Thanks once more,

Part of the walls are still there.
