"The Home"
« on: Tuesday 08 January 19 21:31 GMT (UK) »
Hello,
I have found a relative that died 1/1/24 in The Home, 12 King St Dundee.
Unable to find any record of this place.
Anyone advise where to look ?
Cheers

I can't easily see online further details on the premises at 12 King Street other than further Directory listings.

I did find this www.rhn.org.uk/content/uploads/2016/11/The-Incurables-Movement.pdf which gives some background to the thinking at that time.

I learn something new everyday for sure...
