The Cosy.
« on: Monday 11 June 12 21:26 BST (UK) »
Hello all.
Does anyone have any information about ' The Cosy.'? It was, I believe, a common lodging house on Oldham Rd Manchester. It must have been a large establishment as there were many ' lodgers ' in the 1901 census.
How did they end up there?

Thank you.
Charlie.

Hi Charlie

From doing my research I have come across this before. The Cosy was indeed a common lodging house. It was based at 18 Pump Road, Oldham Road, Manchester. From what I know about common lodging houses is that they are like your modern day 'hostels'. At that time is was cheap accommodation along with poor standards. They could have ended up there for many reasons; maybe just passing through the City or struggling to find somewhere to live.

Thanks for that Jill_cov. It's what I expected, I was just hoping it may have been an organisation where they had some records. It doesn't look like it though.
Thank you. Charlie.
