Rose Hill Nursing Home Marple

A crippled children's nursing home at Marple. built at a cost of £5.000. was opened by Earl Derby on Friday. The home is, with the exception of the isolation ward and certain staff rooms, a one storied building, and has wide verandahs. In the grounds there is an opportunity for extension in the way of open air sleeping sheds, which can be put up very cheaply. Two wards in the building contain thirty beds, fifteen for girls and fifteen for boys. The site of the home is on a cliff overlooking the River Goyt and contains two acres of land.
