Taxel Lodge
A Memory of Taxal.
I am writing to say at last I've found a photo of what I believe to be what I knew as Taxal Edge Convalescent home for children with chest problems, I was there in 1959 for 4 months. The home was used for children from Manchester, Liverpool Ashton Under Lyme and other areas, but I was accepted from Yorkshire as I was in need of urgent convalesence, I remember Mrs Griffiths the cook, Dr Brown Miss Shakeshaft, Mr & Mrs Fuller who were in charge, plus a border collie who used to disappear in the night and we had to go and fetch him back from a local farm. We did lots of walking and playing out to get lots of fresh air. I don't remember any problems with the staff, there was a David Broom and a John White (John was from Liverpool) to fellow sufferers. I'm afraid I can't think of anything else to write, if anyone else was there at that time please do contact me.
