Hospital at Silloth ?
« on: Saturday 14 March 15 08:02 GMT (UK) »
Hi, can anyone tell me if there was a hospital at Silloth in 1911 ?  If so, what the name of it was ?

Thanks

I don't think there was a hospital there.  :-\

However there was a convalescent home (a short distance south-west) which had its own railway station -

A postcard on Ebay shows that it was in existence in 1904 http://tinyurl.com/odwb2gk

I think the convalescent home is still there as the Silloth Nursing and Residential Care Home states that it was established in 1862 and there is an image on their site which looks like the postcard.

There was an isolation hospital at Silloth, south of the convalescent home.
