Guest LozzyLozenge Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Hello, I'm new to this site and have read with interest peoples perspectives of middlewood hospital and the new estate in its place. I have lived in the area all my life and so am aware of the history of the hospital, but have recently moved onto wadsley park village. I would be interested to hear if anyone knows specifically what part of the hospital stood where I am currently living, on eastwood, across from the church. I have researched this but come up with nothing. I would be grateful if anybody could tell me of anything they know. Thankyou. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, perhaps a map would help, here is a reduced size section taken from an OS map, no year to it but probably early 1950's.

Old rider Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 As a child I lived near Middlewood Hospital. I remember the alarm sounding when an inmate of the hospital escaped. I remember the big gates with a gatekeeper's lodge past the tram terminus but did not know of any other entrance to the hospital. I also remember the fields on the side of the road where the Winn Gardens estate is. I was told that the men who worked in those fields were inmates of Middlewood Hospital. As a child I learnt not to tell others I lived at Middlewood because I would get teased about it. I found out about Wharncliffe Hospital when my Aunt Miss Buckle had a second stroke and was in Warncliffe unconscious for 6 months before she died. Miss Buckle may be known to other readers as she had been Head Mistress of Woodseats school and later on Sharrow Lane School. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
