My mothers aunty died in the area and all we have is a document from the funeral directors which says she was collected from whalley hospital in February 1954.
We just want to know what the hospital was for and why she would have been there.
I know it's a long shot but her name was Margaret gamble and she was 29 when she died and my mum is desperate for any information on why she would have been there.

Thanks so much in advance for your help!

I think the Whalley Hospital could be Calderstones. It was at one time a military hospital in WW1.
Try one of them goggle searches, it may help. Lancs BMD Margaret Gamble 1954 Cltheroe A. CLA/8/36.
