I worked at Zachary Merton in the 60s and it was both for men and women then. People were sent from Loughborough & Leicester hospitals to recover after having an operation. We would walk (the ones that could walk) to the pub just round the corner for a bottle of stout. Those that couldn't walk, we would fetch them a bottle of stout back to be drunk on the ward! The grounds were beautiful and we would fetch armfulls of flowers to decorate the hospital with.
The children's home was before Zachary Merton as you came from the village of Woodhouse Eaves, but on the same road.
