Anyone know why the Ribble valley had so many asylums in one area , seem to remember they were originally built for the wounded after WW1 ( sure Retlaw will know the history about this). Just seems to be a lot of beds for one area considering there were other places as well , think there was also a place near Longridge as well (Wittingham sp?)
