By 1916 - it could have been either Stockport Infirmary or Stepping Hill, or Pendlebury Hall, or any of the six schools mentioned (or another place that isn't mentioned  ) -
Posting a picture is a very long shot (but I like long shots - you never know).
In the original post you said you were trying to find any records... it might be worth posting on the WW1 board to see if anyone there has ever heard of any hospital records being kept, or anything on movement of wounded soldiers.
Other than that maybe the local records office my have some info - now you can ask a more specific question giving names of the hospitals and schools. Or you could try old newspaper reports from the local papers of the time (try Stockport library).....again all very very long shots to try to find mention of a specific name.
Good Luck

The booklet sounds like a brilliant read, can’t wait to get my hands on a copy.
I had thought that the local Stockport newspapers would be a likely source of information and have intended to look at them but been a bit busy with other things lately and not had much time to spend at the library.
I have shown a copy of the photograph to various people of some senior years without much success. General consensus was The Infirmary or Stepping Hill.
Ray, just a thought, if you wanted to go “public” with this how about contacting The Stockport Express newspaper at www.stockportexpress.co.uk I feel sure they would find it interesting enough to print your photograph and run the story.
Pat.

For those interested, there was a military hospital in Poynton in WW1 on the A523 at a large house called Barlow Fold.
The photo of injured/ soldier looks to me as though in a ward rather than in a large room in a large house.

Hello Ray,
Many moons ago (2005!), I put a thread on regarding recuperating soldiers at my Gt Grandmothers home on Wellington Road, Stockport. Onr of the hospitals mentioned was Lilly Lane, and also St Georges Military Hospital.
These are all well documented at Stockport Library, History section.
I have a list of the soldiers and nurses based at my Gt Grandmother's if it's of any use to you.
Obadiah.

Hello Ray,
So sorry, cannot find any in my book from Dorsetshire Regiment. The nearest is Royal Sussex Regt.
Good luck with your research.
Obadiah.

I have a postcard of Alexandra Park School used as a hospital and the postmark is November 1916.
