That pics based in the trough of bowland between dunsop bridge and Lancaster. The Duchy of Lancaster is know owned by Smiths Gore they may hold all the information regarding past tenants. I had the privilege of growing up at whitewell and it is a lovely area, for the best information about the area Clitheroe librery hold plenty of information in there archives.

Calderstones NHS trust is on Mitton road Whalley, it has been there since just before world was one and was mainly used as a war time hospital with its own power station and railway line (which has now gone), for more information about deaths i would contact ribble valley county council or lancashire county council as they are where it is situated.

between the beginning of world war one to 1920 it was also know as Queen Marys hospital or county Asylum at Whalley.

there was a block dedicated to nurses quarters and it is still there now.
I hope it helps
