This is the chapter on health taken from the book Birkenhead 1877-1974.

A good find Bert. Most interesting. It refers to Thingwall and Burntwood Santoria. (p.39)

There used to be a Sanitorium out Clatterbridge way I think. Maybe that was a later one. The Hospital there now may have replaced it. Got faint memories of it. TB sufferers used to be sent there, beds outside and all that guff.

Yes, I think that's the one, Bert. "Cheshire Joint Sanitorium, opened 1923"

Didn't 'Burntwood Sanatorium' used to be a destination on the Crosville buses, or am I imagining it?!

Small misprint, top of page 40. I think it should be Grange Mount.

The nearest location to Burntwood, Staffs. that Crosville ran to seems to be Market Drayton.

I used to work and live in the Psych Unit in Burntwood (in the nurses home I hasten to add). It was called St Matthews. It's been converted into luxury flats now

Are you thinking of the F21 from Birkenhead that had "Cleaver Sanitorium" (Heswall) on the blind ?
You're right! That was the one!
Well, it was a long time ago!
