More about this scene
Overlooking the Marine Lake was the convalescent home. It was built to take advantage of the prevailing south-westerly winds, and it reinforced Southport's claim to be a health resort.

Sparked a Memory for you?
If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
I have Vague memories of being sent here to convalesce when I was little I remember being very poorly all the time with asthma and i almost died once from this, i do remember crying as i did not want to go and hated watching my dad walk away leaving me there but can not remember much else or how long I stayed here but i do remember nuns which is strange i really wish i could remember more xx
When I was about 2 I was very ill and after leaving the Children's Hospital I went to a convalescent home in Southport. I have very little memory of this.. I was told it was a Catholic home. My mother was very worried. When she came to take me home she said I looked lovely, glowing and all the Nuns were giving me hugs. My mother believes I was very happy there. She said I was golden brown as we were on the beach every day. Does anyone else know about the home?
