A building from the other side. They exterior seems to have been little-modified during their lives, apart from the wire guards over the windows and disabled access features. |
This is the school in 1910; I didn't see a similar building today. |

Above; two pictures of the clock tower today. The clock tower used to be the general offices, and behind the grey sheeting was the matron's office. |

The gym - with "Games for All" over the entrance. It used to be the cinema in the Cottage Homes era. I've not found a building quite like this in any old photo so maybe the columns are a relatively recent addition? |
This is the hospital circa 1910. |

The entrance to today's prison on Styal Road. The red-brick building at the main entrance was known as the Lodge; it served as a girls' home, and visitors and parents would report there first. As you entered the building the room on the right would be the meeting room for parents and children. |
You can see from this 1910 picture of the entrance to Styal Cottage Homes that little has changed. |
