Old Astley Hospital
This is a Quiet are of Astley and the entrance can easily be missed. The entrance is OFF Church Road Astley close to the Manchester Road Round about. The building was once an hospital set in tranquel grounds with a pond etc. There is a clinic that is back to back with the Tea rooms. Your afternoon teas include a Scone with Jam and cream etc. This is a very quite area, and once sat outside in the grounds you would not realise you are surrounded by buildings of various ages. When the hospital closed, this was the only building that was saved from demolition as the builders moved in on the site to build 3 storey houses.
