Torworth House, Borehamwood

[kevarms]

Hello
I've recently acquired the death certificate of my estranged  grandfather (last seen by any of the family in the late 70s). He died in 1990 and at the time was living at Torworth House, Torworth Road, Borehamwood.
I'm just trying to find out a bit more about his circumstances at the time.

Is this an old people's home? I've found a Torworth House online  that does seem to be some kind of care facility but the address is Allerton Road.

Do any locals know anything about this place?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, Torworth House was an old people's home in Torworth Road, Borehamwood (when young, I lived in Torworth Road).
I don't know anything about the Torworth House in Allerton Road; maybe the old home closed and the name was taken to a new site?
Maybe you can find more info at the local paper website: http://www.borehamwoodtimes.co.uk/

I think maybe you are right. Thanks, I'll see if I can find out anything from the newspaper.
