My great grandmother was admitted by her family in 1928 for the offence of giving birth while unmarried, her patient number was 31038. I cannot find any more information, but I have been told that she died in the institution, never having seen her child. This is a sad but common story, and I would like any one who can help with more info to get in touch. thanks

I worked on the Barratt site across the road a few years ago, when the ground workers were there they dug up a paupers graveyard, they had to wait for the bones to be taken away

hi
i now live across the road from the moor hospital, and me and my friend regularly take walks around the grounds with her dog,
if you would like i could take photos from the inside, as the security guards don’t seem to mind us walking the dog in there

You may be able to obtain hospital records from the Lancashire Record Office, Bow Lane, Preston, PR1 2RE. I obtained records of my great, great grandfather but he died in 1891, so records for the 1950s/60 may not be obtainable but work a try.

My late sister was in the Moor hospital in the late 1960’s and 70’s. Does anybody know where I would be able to find any records associated with my sister?

Does anybody have pictures of the area around the mortuary of the Moor Hospital.
Also would like contact with any of the builders that were part of the construction of the new housing estate across the road from the main building. Especially builders.groundworkers that cleared the site prior to starting the building work.
