Peel St, Denton
By 1881 the Revd Lawrence Scott had moved to Denton from Ruddington, Northamptonshire, where he was a gentleman farmer. On arrival in Denton he first moved to Manchester Rd and in 1889 he married Mary Banks in London. Subsequently, he had Peel House built where he lived with his wife and three children, Charles Prestwich, Joseph Prestwich and Isabella Civil.

However, in his early days at Peel House it seems that he was frequently away on Unitarian business and other members of the Unitarian community lived there.

Later, Peel House became the Denton Maternity and Child Welfare Centre but it was demolished between 1978 and 1981 to make way for the M67 motorway.

First Aid Posts were located in adapted buildings, such as church halls. They were mainly staffed by a mixture of the British Red Cross, St John Ambulance and Civil Reserve nurses. Each post had three sections; one for receiving and sorting casualties, a second for giving treatment and a third where patients could rest before returning home or being sent to hospital. The purpose of FAPs was to care for victims of air raids but blackout accident cases were also treated. They regularly practiced with Civil Defence workers, Home Guard and the police.
