Broad Oak Hostel
 
A friend is asking for information on Boad Oak Hostel, in which a family member died in 1964. I think it was in Broad Oak Rd, or was it in Broad Oak terrace in Sandy Lane? Who owned it ? How did it operate ?I understand that it no longer operates. How long was it in business ?

There's no rush is there? Especially for a man that waits 8 years to read a 'new' thread?

I knew the area very well, but must admit can't remember any Hostel in either Sandy Lane, nor Broad Oak Rd. As far as I know there wasn't a Broad Oak Terrace, might be wrong, but pretty sure about it.
Cheers

Adrian Shurmer's Guide gives Broad Oak Terrace. I confess to being disappointed over not yet getting an answer over this hostel.

Hi Bob,
Just googled up the following article, please note the key word being "Care Home"!

Here is the internet address:
https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.u...shire-mansion/

Quote:
"When this impressive-looking building was photographed in 1952, it was the home of Broad Oak Nursery School in Accrington.

It had been originally been built in 1900 by George McAlpine as a private residence. In later years it would also be used as a care home and more recently by Heathlands Private School." End of quote.

I would have copied the photo into this web, but as always having trouble copying into the website, for me much too complicated!
Cheers
