New Wing and Hospital: Warehousemen and Clerk’s Orphan Schools Cheadle Hulme

The new wing and hospital which have been added to the fine buildings housing the Manchester and Warehousemen and Clerks' Orphan Schools, at Cheadle Hulme, were declared open on Saturday. By the generosity of the trustees of the late Mr. Manasseh Gledhill a sum of £7,500 was recently contributed to the institution for the additions. The new wing so provided, affords additional space for 7U beds in the girls' dormitory, and a considerable enlargement of their recreation room, while the new hospital contains 30 beds in the infectious and 20 beds in the non‑infectious departments. The architects were Messrs. W. and G. Higginbottom, Manchester, the contract being carried out by Messrs. Burgess and Galt, builders, Ardwick, at a cost of £7,500.
