Notes

Note N10Reply from Ron Bradshaw

" In 1929 the Rev Gordon Cartlidge was appointed vicar of Holy Trinity Church. The view from his study window was of the Charlton Mound. This irritated him, so he got together a committee and went to see the landowner, Mr O D Murphy, who also owned Wrekin Brewery. Mr Murphy gave them the mound and also paid the legal fees for the transfer of the land to the ownership of the Urban District Council. Gordon Cartlidge got the IVSP interested, and numbers of them came every year and moved many tons of clay. At that time I was an unemployed apprentice at Walker Tech, and during break times we used to walk into Oakengates and watch the work. Gordon Cartlidge's original intention was that the Council Offices go there. In 1940 it was alleged that a German Bomber came over Oakengates. He didn't drop his bombs there, but farther to the east in Lodge Wood.

After the war the District Council bulldozed the site to what it is now. In 1964 I became the County Councillor for Wombridge with Iris Butler who was chairman and Director of Social Services, and we offered the site for an old folks home. We then went and asked Rev Cartlidge if he would agree to the home being named after him. The home was opened in 1975 by Mrs Flora Dugdale, wife of the Lord Lieutenant. It houses 60 people."

"CARTLIDGE HOUSE

Cartlidge House is situated in the locality of Oakengates in Telford. The care home provides residential care and supports 54 frail elderly people some of whom have dementia, and also includes a respite facility.

The scheme is situated on three floors, and is consequently split into smaller units. Each resident has their own bedroom and access to shared communal facilities. A dedicated team enables residents to lead as much of an independent lifestyle as possible, assisting those who require additional support on an individual basis as their needs dictate.

There are significant plans to refurbish the scheme in the near future. For further information, please contact Cartlidge House:

Cartlidge House (Registered), Charlton Street, Oakengates, Telford, TF2 6BD
