These were for miners and their families. Are they still intact or long since gone? Any help greatly appreciated. ______________________________________________________________________ Hi Graham, According to the description of the Enumeration District for the 1891 and 1901 Censuses, the Convalescent Home(s) were in the area of the Marsden Grotto and Marsden Inn. However they are not marked on the old maps of the area. They were also there in the 1881 Census. Regards Stan Mapstone
