Convalescent Home, St Anne’s-on-the-Sea
A considerable number of ladies and gentlemen who are interested in the Manchester Children's Hospital assembled at St Anne’s-on-the-Sea on Saturday afternoon to take part in a specially interesting ceremony - the formal opening and presentation of a new convalescent home by the president of the hospital, Sir William Agnew, Bart. ...... The new home, which has been constructed from plans prepared by Mr Alfred Steinthal, architect, of this city, is situated about a mile from St Anne's Railway Station on the high road to Blackpool. It is amply provided with grounds for further extensions, and possesses an uninterrupted view of the sea, although standing some sixty or eighty yards from the coastline. The home has accommodation for 25 patients as well as for matron, two nurses and two domestic servants. The comfort and convenience of the inmates seem to have been provided for in every way, so that hardly anyone would question its claim to be called a model convalescent home.
