The old building is simply not suitable for the standards of care needed to look after the day centre patients. The staff really do an amazing job looking after the patients in the existing building. If you look at the proposed plans you'll see the proposed new building will give facilities that we, as residents of Hoylake should be proud of. The sensory garden is a great idea. We have a picture of the proposed new building on display at our charity shop.

The Town Hall opened in 1898, Central Hall also in Market Street opened in 1902, the Hoyle Rd school opened in 1909, the bandstand was constructed in 1912 and the open air pool was opened in 1913. Hoylake Cottage Hospital opened with ten beds in 1910 …so this building will just manage it’s centenary before it’s demolished. [...] [...] Around this era Hoylake was changing quite dramatically.

Maybe the building is old, inefficient, un-adaptable, but Hoylake will soon become a jumble of badly designed un co-ordinated building. We have lost the Parish Church and Hall, the YMCA, the Royal, the Stanley, the Kingsway (garage and cinema). What next? I remeber the Cottage Hospital well as I was in there in the early 60s with a cut knee. The first thing my father said when he visited me was that I was in the same bed in which my grandfather died in the bad winter of '47! We had a lovely chunky Matron who waddled in each day with a cheerful "How are my boys?" , Sister Hardman ran the ward well, Old Mr Ryding was opposite and asked her if there was anything she could give him to improve his appetite, Sister Hardman replied that a dose of worms was all she could offer! Dr Ashe treated me in A&E, I remember he was a volunteer in the lifeboat crew and being a keen photographer he invariably took his camera on the boat. The Advertiser often had an on-the-spot photo of the latest rescue! Oh Dear, another landmark to be demolished.
