We were warned by the "old timers" not to venture into the cellars underneath Wd 4 as in the old days the staff scrubbed the bare floorboards and "smuck" might have gone down the cracks. Wonder what will happen when they demolish it.<br /><br />I used to love working on Ward 4, there were more patients so we had three staff at night instead of 3 but if someone did not turn up on another ward they took the third person and it made working on there very hard with just two.<br /><br />If you google these days to see what is left of Hyde Hospital watch for the cross shaped building which is the new nursing home built over where Ward One and Three were. Ward 2, the showerblocks and mortuary were at the back and now are car parks,Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599481671908734427.post-80633945091337443792011-04-26T14:07:13.265+01:002011-04-26T14:07:13.265+01:00I've taken some photos of the gateposts on Mot...I've taken some photos of the gateposts on Mottram Old Road and of the lodge at Hyde Hospital which I'll email to you. It certainly looks as if the lodge in your picture was on Mottram Old Road, but just look at the photo I took face-on of the lodge at Hyde Hospital - allowing for alterations which may have been made over the years I certainly can't tell the difference between them!Dave Williamsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599481671908734427.post-54394299455590915182011-04-21T20:13:02.411+01:002011-04-21T20:13:02.411+01:00I should imagine the same builders built both Lodg...I should imagine the same builders built both Lodges, Steve ,would you?

It was quite a steep hill that lead down to the hospital if my memory serves me correctly and i have an idea that the lodge was below road level, too - might be wrong though?

My apologies for the misinformation given by me originally. However, I don't think the 4th picture is the hospital lodge either. My recollection is of a 2-storey building situated, as you say, much further down Mottram Old Road towards GX. John Ashton, a lad who was at Holy Trinity School at the same time as me in the 50s, lived at the lodge with his mother, who worked at Aspland. It would be good if someone could come up with more information on the lodge.<br />Incidentally, when Alder Hey School was being built, I understood that the objections were about the preserved newts which were resident on the site [and whose removal cost the council a small fortune]. Never heard anything about infectious disease lying dormant!Werneth Lownoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599481671908734427.post-39410208065645433562011-04-20T23:02:09.966+01:002011-04-20T23:02:09.966+01:00Excellent update Nancy.... that's the picture ...Excellent update Nancy.... that's the picture I was thinking about...Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04167792394551286975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599481671908734427.post-67193359641072464732011-04-20T21:19:36.346+01:002011-04-20T21:19:36.346+01:00The Lodge to the isolation hospital was where the ...The Lodge to the isolation hospital was where the entrance to Alder High School is now if my memory serves me correctly.

It is known as "Iddesleigh", which I think was built by the Bradley Family, a well known Godley family who owned much of the land around Godley Green. The lodge was further down towards Gee Cross on the same side, around where the school is now.<br /><br />PaulHyde Ladhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13799992790388189244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599481671908734427.post-5233733704213700482011-04-20T16:08:03.893+01:002011-04-20T16:08:03.893+01:00Cheers Gerald

I remember the argument forwarded by some objectors about the ground still being contaminated... I don't know if it was or not... but I had a lovely young nephew went there.... but left the school as a cocky teenager who delights in tormenting me... I often wonder if he's been 'infected' ha!

I took a lot of photos of Mottram Old Road at the time for the objectors website but the website is dead and I can no longer find my original photos.Gerald (SK14)https://www.blogger.com/profile/18308693910074268386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599481671908734427.post-82175676639134974402011-04-20T09:49:54.759+01:002011-04-20T09:49:54.759+01:00I have come across the following names given to &#...I have come across the following names given to 'Hyde Hospital' <br /><br />Hyde Borough Isolation Hospital (1886 - ?);<br />Hyde Fever Hospital <br />Hyde Infectious Diseases Hospital (by 1929 - ?) <br />Isolation Hospital (c.1948 - c.1955) <br /><br />These are the address it had.<br /> Mottram Old Road (1886 - 1905) <br />Grange Road South was previously called Grange Road, and before that (back to 1905) Back Bower Lane.<br /><br />Archives for Family History at Tameside Local Studies and Archives Centre. <br />Hyde Isolation Hospital (DDH2, 1888 - 1948),Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04167792394551286975noreply@blogger.com
