Mossley Manor

[moe]

Hey guys.
My wife asked me " what can you find out about mossley manor on north mossley hill road she works there and im a big lover of history so it was a matter of time for me to bite the bait.

All i have managed to find out is that it used to be some form of home for single mothers with children apparently from ireland (salvation army maternity home) , also kim catrell was apparently born there, the building is fascinating but it seems to be near impossible to find anything out about it, (it has a massive stained glass window in the front and a lovely staircase in the center if a big hall, the building has to have a history behind it but i cant seem to put my finger on it. If anyone knows anything and would like to share it would be doing me a massive favour as i am a bit lost now
Kind Regards.
Maurice.

Hello Maurice

What is the specific address? If you can give us the street number on North Mossley Hill Road hopefully one of our sleuths can find out more about the building.

I think that is where the nuns came from when I lived in the University Halls of rresidence across the street in 1965...

Was it a home run by the nuns earlier than the Salvation Army?

Kim Cattrall was born in 1956, but it doesn't sound like she had an unmarried mother.

She said that she's heard about nuns being there, and everything else has been told to her by residents as it is now a nursing home.
