Bowlacre is a residental care home off Stockport Road in Gee Cross.
The home's own website states
We are an Industrial and Provident society managed by a voluntary committee for the benefit of the old people of Hyde and have been established for over 50 years. We have a staff team that is committed to looking after our residents, supported by the committee & friends & relatives of both present & past residents. We also have 12 properties in the grounds which are rented to people who are able to look after themselves; these are for people who live within 5 miles of Bowlacre and are over 65 years old.Foreign readers of this blog are (not surprisingly) very confused about the difference between three very different types of property
- Retirement homes
- Residential care homes
- Nursing homes

A vital part of every community.
Hi Gerald
I have an uncle who lives here.. he is certainly well cared for. I will have to find the time to follow your link on this.
I think such distinctions are common in every country, and equally difficult to understand.
What a lovely building. Thanks for the photo, Gerald. I enjoyed browsing some of your recent posts, too.
