Lakeside Ladies Hostel - Ashton under Lyne
« on: Tuesday 29 January 19 18:30 GMT (UK) »
Hello all,

I'm after your help again please.

Can anyone shed any light on where I can obtain information about Lakeside Ladies Hostel, Ashton under Lyne? I have tried via Tameside record office but they have no idea what I'm on about! My great aunt's will lists her address as Lakeside Ladies Hostel. Any help/advice you can offer will as usual be much appreciated.

The only lake worthy of the name in Ashton is the Boating Lake which is next to Tameside General Hospital, according to OS maps available on Bing maps, and viewable on Bird's Eye there. Lakeside might have been part of that.

OTOH there is a Lakeside Avenue in Ashton on the other side of town - nowhere near a lake thouigh. Ordinary houses (council-house type) that might have been built arouund 1959.......

A search in Google Books brings up this snippet from a Lancs County Council meeting in 1963:

Interesting. So if new (Aged persons?) homes were being built, releasing Lakeside to the "hospital management committee" that implies that Lakeside was sited near the hospital. Interesting to read that the Consultant Geriatrician refers people admitted to the Hospital to Lakeside. All found by searching for Lakeside on the above document.

If it was next to Lake Hospital, "Lakeside" would make sense !
