The house was used as a hospital during both World Wars. Here we see WW1 wounded soldiers with Dr Thorp. Later the building was a museum, and was demolished in the 1950s.

Alan Bramwell, a Pennine Horizons Digital Archive volunteer, photographed the poster and then spent many hours digitally restoring the image thus created. The finished image was framed and mounted at Wainsgate Chapel.
The chapel was bought by Eddie Beasley for development into 2 houses. During his restoration work Eddie came across this memorial to the fallen soldiers from the chapel.
