Title: Location of St Joseph's Convent?
Post by: admin on February 02, 2011, 12:07:42 PM

Can anyone advise exactly where St. Joesph's Convent in Marple Bridge was located please? This is to help with an email enquiry I've received.

As it was Mount St Jospeph's Convent.. I guess it was near where Hollins Mount is now ?

Thanks Tricky, I was looking on the Cheshire Tithe maps and it isn't showing on there.

The convent wasn't there in 1898, just fields and a tennis court and house and land called Sunny Bank.
