Re: Tuberculosis
I'm a bit late with this information. My Great Aunt and Uncle were caretakers of the isolation hospital in the 1940's. They were Emma and Hubert Mulhall. I remember visiting them on numerous occasions. Their house was I think prefabricated as I think was the hospital. They kept chickens and had a huge vegetable garden which during rationing was very useful. Between the hospital and house was afield of daffodils. It overlooked the valley with the steam train to Manchester. I remember particularly the sound of the wind in the telegraph wires and the cold!
They must have left in the late 40's, and I assume the buildings were then demolished.
