Neston : Cottage Hospital

Big thanks to waddi for matching and taking the pictures.

is that near the Royal Oak in Little neston??

yeah, i believe so

you can see the sign for the royal oak on the left of the pic

apparently my grandmother (who would have now been approx 130+)
was brought up as a child in the Cottage Hospital. I don't actually know whether it was before or after it became a hospital. She was a Pritchard and her father was a builder. There was a row of houses named after him 'Pritchard Row' I believe.

I seem to recall being told that the Neston cottage hospital used to be in Liverpool road in Neston at one time, wonder if that was before or after it was by the Royal Oak ?.
