Corporate DS/UK/P/1056 Great Hucklow; Nightingale Centre Nightingale Centre Great Hucklow Great Hucklow Holiday Home, later Florence Nightingale Convalescent Home and The Nightingale Centre

The Manchester and District Sunday Schools Association, belonging to the Unitarian Church, began in 1845. From 1919 it was known as the Northern Sunday Schools Federation. ¶ ¶It opened a convalescent home for children at Grundy Home, Squire Gate, Blackpool in 1896 and a Holiday Home for Sunday School parties in Great Hucklow, near Buxton, in about 1898. By 1907 it also ran Barleycrofts, a convalescent and holiday home for girls and women, in Great Hucklow. In 1917 it was proposed to build in Great Hucklow the Florence Nightingale Convalescent Home for Men as the National War Memorial for the Unitarian and other non-conformaist churches. The home opened in 1930. It was to be managed by representatives of the Sunday Schools Association and districts within 100 miles radius of Great Hucklow, although eventually, in the 1970s, the management was taken over by the General Assembly of the Unitarian Church. A proposed children's home as a war memorial after the 1939-1945 war was never built. ¶ ¶Changes in International Standard Archival Authority Record for Corporate Bodies, Persons and Families - ISAAR(CPF) 2nd edition - ICA 2004 ISBN 2-9521932-2-3 National Council on Archives, Rules for the Construction of Personal, Place and Corporate Names, 1997 Derbyshire Record Office Collections Manual Section 7 v5.1 (May 2020) Yes DERBYSHIRE\a7005277 31/12/2021 b613a41b-5bfe-4997-a34d-2dc6090aefd6
