Derelict Children's Home
There appears to be two derelict sites linked to the former home
"The Revd Thomas Bowman Stephenson a Methodist minister in London was contacted by a wealthy Bolton mill owner in reply to an advert placed in the Methodist Recorder.
The Bolton man, James Barlow, a staunch Methodist and temperance advocate, had purchased a run-down inn on the moorland above the village of Edgworth. He donated it, with 80 acres of surrounding land plus £5,000, so that Stephenson could open the first NCH children's home outside London.
Barlow saw his gift as two fold; in buying the Wheatsheaf Inn, not only would he be helping the abandoned children who had been living on the streets of London, but he would be ridding Edgworth village of a den of iniquity. The inn had a reputation for Sunday drinking, dog fighting, cock fighting and rat baiting."
