Margaret Bevan Memorial Home

Hi
I have been searching for info on this place for my close friend who spent 6 weeks here as a child.
Would love to see a picture of it in present day.

Hi I've been trying to find the location of where it is now if anyone could please help. Researching for a friend who stayed there as a young child. Thanks

Hi, I was sent to Margaret be an home every year from 1963 I hated going.

My late wife Sandra was there, with her younger sister, Carol, for 6 weeks in the summer of 1957. Sandra was just turned 11 and Carol was 9.1/2 We went back to have a look about 20 years ago and as some have mentioned, the house is now in private ownership and the beach is overgrown. The rhubarb field was still there, though!
I found this account in an old notebook. Unfortunately, I don't have the photo she mentions.

My sister and I were there for 6 weeks in the summer of 1957 and we were in Poppy ward, overlooking the beach. The beach was lovely with clean sand and I remember finding half a crown one day. Fields ran down to the beach and in one grew rhubarb which we used to pick and eat raw.
We wore their dresses and on Sundays went to church wearing brown corduroy skirts, jerkins and berets. I remember the Bendix room which held a large washing machine.
We had lots to keep us occupied and on one of our many walks we were entertained by a group of Scottish men. We often walked to Parkgate and were once treated to a meal by a stranger.
Once a week we went to the lower village to buy sweets etc. Popular were small pink vases for our mothers. I remember going to a cafe called Annabelles.
One day the Queen was due to go past by train and we all went to the matron's house as her back garden overlooked the railway. The gardener and his wife had a cottage in the grounds.
The photos; the lady on the left is the matron, lady on the left a nurse. Girls' photo, me on the left. Anyone recognise me?
