Hello,
Im looking for some information on what was here on this site before the rent office? There is a link attched below:
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/31+ ... 7335?hl=en
I am researching Victorian lifestyle and the notion of healing by the sea and I understand that on this site before, people were sent from Glasgow to come and be healed by the sea air in a kind of hospital here. Does anyone have any more information of photographs? Or know of any mentions in a book? It would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Jamie

Mission Coast Hospital. Hope you enjoy Susans report on it.I see from your map that it maybe a different Hospital,but as far as I know the invalids from Glasgow were sent to the Mission coast Hospital.

That was What I thought was the place. Do not remember anything else that fitted the bill.

I may be completely wrong but I have a vague recollection of a children’s home around that area.

Word search ROCKVALE and then CHAMBERS to find information on the home at Montgomerie Crescent, previously submitted by 'Down South'.
Nothing is ever really lost to us as long as we remember it.

Well spotted, Penny. Susan, AKA 'Down South', and others have added so much to our forum over the years that it's become a virtual reference library for the three towns.Penny Tray wrote: ↑Thu Nov 29, 2018 11:27 pm Word search ROCKVALE and then CHAMBERS to find information on the home at Montgomerie Crescent, previously submitted by 'Down South'.
