Discover the historical significance of Longshaw, WN5 7 (Wigan), ST10 3 (Staffordshire), and BB2 3 (Blackburn with Darwen) on the map. Longshaw, Grindleford, in Yorkshire, holds a poignant past. During World War I, it was home to the 3rd Northern General Hospital's Longshaw Lodge Auxiliary Hospital. Nurses from near and far tended to wounded soldiers, their faces etched with determination and compassion. Maps of Wigan, Staffordshire, and Blackburn with Darwen led the way for these brave women to reach Longshaw Lodge. Rufus, a beloved mascot, brought comfort to the patients, adding a touch of warmth to the wartime setting. Let us honor their sacrifices and remember the healing power Lodge.
