Children's Convalescent Home Green Lane Ormskirk

A Memory of Ormskirk.

As a 10 year old child in 1959, I had a problem with my eyes, crusty and red-rimmed and sore looking. I lived in the outskirts of Liverpool, and thinking the sea air would cure me, our GP sent me to a children's convalescent home in Ormskirk. I feel certain it was in Green Lane. The Home seemed to be very big to me as a small child. There was only one ward I seem to remember, with tiny babies from 6 months old up to 6 years on one side of the ward, and 6 years and older on the opposite side. My father and sister took me home after only 3 days because I was extremely unhappy although I was well looked after. Would it have been Quarry Mount? I have seen that name mentioned in the nostalic pages, and wonder if it is the same place I remember. Does anyone have photographs of the home? The strange thing is, in the early 80s I was working on a refinery and the safety officer called Mario, told me he lived in Green Lane, Ormskirk. I mentioned the Home to him and was amazed to hear that the "Home" was now his family's home! So it obviously was nowhere near as massive as I had thought as a 10 year old. Does anyone recall it? I would love to see a picture of it.
