Community News: Nantwich Museum Seeks Information on Welsh Row and the Cottage Hospital

Nantwich Cottage Hospital

Nantwich Museum is researching an exhibition, “Welsh Row Through the Ages”,  to be mounted at the Pillory Street venue in the summer.

Information is sought about the history of the buildings on Welsh Row (current or
demolished), the people who lived there, past shops and trades.

The museum would also like to hear of any interesting items, such as maps and pictures, which could possibly be borrowed to feature in the exhibition.

However, constraints on space does mean that the museum wouldn’t be able to accept any items until shortly before the exhibition.

The Cottage Hospital opened near Welsh Row in 1911 and served the town until its closure in the 1970s. Many residents still remember the hospital and its fund raising events. The museum is keen to hear reminiscences relating to the hospital and perhaps put names to any photographs of the time.

Those with information are requested to contact the Museum by the end of February.
