Beck Allans Grasmere Accommodation History
House was built in 1850, by a Manchester businessman. Around 1890 it changed use and became the Grasmere Catholic College. The adjacent street is named after it, i.e. College Street.
During the First World War (1914-18), the house was commandeered for use as a convalescent home for soldiers, recovering from their injuries received at the 'front'.
At the time of World War II (1939-45) the house had once again changed its use, this time to a vegetarian hotel. Around 1970 the property was converted to its present use, self catering holiday apartments. In 1992, and again in 1996 substantial improvements were carried out and the Guest House was constructed.
