Moorlands Maternity Home
I was born in Moorlands maternity Home, Rawtenstall, Haslingden, Accrington in 1948. Can anyone tell me more about the institution? Was it just a maternity hospital, was it some form of 'home' - if so for whom? When did it close down? Any info would be gratefully received. Regards Dave.

Re: Moorlands Maternity Home
I was born in the Moorland's Maternity Home. Is this place still standing? Still working? Any help would be appreciated.
* Re: Moorland's Maternity Home by kath slaughter (Member 39240) on 1-Mar-01 I think that the Moorlands maternity home was part of the current Rossendale General Hospital. The hospital still exists but no longer has a maternity ward. Rossendalians are now usually born in Bury, Burnley or Blackburn. * Re: Moorland's Maternity Home by Michael Woodhead (Member 25449) on 29-Apr-01 Thank you! I also attended a school there for about one year (1952) when I was 5 years old. Any idea what school that would be? I still have a picture of me with my class, but nothing to indicate which school * Re: Moorland's Maternity Home by Carrie Creamer (Member 52220) on 28-Jun-01 Did you ever find out about the Moorland's maternity home? My grandmother was born there as well (in 1926) I was told that the Moorland's was a workhouse back in those days. Let me know if you found anything else out  Thanks Carriegot that from googleing the name http://www.knowhere.co.uk/board/kb43....html?start=40 |
