More about this scene
In 1931, the widow of Stafford Bourne (the son of one of the founders of Bourne & Hollingsworth's store in London) sold Garston Manor to Benskins the brewers, who transferred it to the North West Metropolitan Regional Hospital Board. The Board converted the manor into a medical rehabilitation centre to accommodate men and women between the ages of sixteen and seventy who were recovering from physical disabilities resulting from injury or illness.
