I didn't get to see the Village at night, with the pumpkins glowing in the dark. But I enjoyed seeing the Halloween decorations even in full daylight.

““There's always a need to provide education for children with special needs – especially when its is as good as the care established at Nugent House school, Billinge.” This was the message of Baroness Warnock of Weeke who opened the school's new residential provision last Friday. The extension will meet the needs of those suffering mainly from a psychiatric or a neurological illness. Headteacher, Mr Charles Mills, said: “The new residential provision named Pinnington House will aid our practice of integrating the resident young people into the main school body at Nugent House. Very often these young people will require additional in-class support from either a personal counsellor or classroom assistant but this is a major part of their developmental therapy”.
Where young people in Pinnington House have a requirement for treatment of a psychiatric nature, the school has developed a complementary support team which includes a consultant psychiatrist, clinical and educational psychologists and psychiatric health and social work personnel.
Nugent House is a residential and day special school registered and approved by the Department for Education, which seeks to meet the educational, social and developmental needs of boys between the ages of 8 and 17 years who have emotional and behavioural disorders. The school is part of the Nugent Care Society.”

Located south-east of the original Greenfield House, Pinnington House was named after William Pinnington (1856-1932). The latter had succeeded Monsignor Nugent as administrator of the LCCPS and, in 1924, had become its first chairman following the Society's amalgamation with the Liverpool Catholic Children's Aid Committee -in which he had also served as secretary- and Father Berry's Homes. As parish priest, Monsignor Pinnington was additionally responsible for the building of a new church and school dedicated to St Alphonsus on Great Mersey St, Liverpool.
A briefing issued by the Archdiocesan Media Office* provides some further background on the new facility-
“A report commissioned by the Children's Society and published in 1992 highlighted a national scarcity of appropriate provision for young people with psychiatric or neurological illness, and the identification of this need together with a demand from local authorities in the North West of England prompted the Nugent Care Society to support the development of this specialist provision. A fundamental principle underpinning both care and education practice in Pinnington House is that the resident young people should have complete integrated access to the main school body at Nugent House School which subscribes to a full National Curriculum and the whole range of other appropriate educational experiences. Very often, these young people will require additional in-class support, from either a personal counsellor or classroom assistant, but a major part of their developmental therapy is the acquisition of increasing confidence and self esteem which will enable them to eventually function independently within the school environment. The educational experiences of the young people are supplemented, in accordance with individual need, by the exposure to a variety of other therapeutic opportunities which include Drama, Music and Art therapy.”

The tenancy of Greenfield House “with or without 18 Cheshire acres of land (or a portion thereof)” was repeatedly re-advertised up to and including 17 March 1900, but seems to have been taken on shortly thereafter by a Mr T Wilkie. His stay at Greenfield was short-lived, however, as The Wigan Observer of 3 May 1902 advertised a further auction of household effects “by Order of T Wilkie, who is changing his residence”. The lots included in the sale on this occasion were-
“Live Stock, Vehicles, Pony, Furniture and Effects; Dairy Cow, Beef Cow, Governess Car, Pony and Harness, Farmer's Spring Waggon, Hay Cutter, Turnip Pulper, Corn Crusher, Leading Chains, Riding Bridles, Gent's Cycle, Dairy Utensils, Furniture, Drawing-room and Dining-room Suites, Telescope Table, Chaffonier, Upright Case Clock, Hall Stand, Bedroom Suite, Spare Wardrobe, Side Board, Chests of Drawers, Carpets, Cottage Piano and Stool, Barometer, Bedsteads, Dressing Mirrors, Fire Kerb and Brasses, Ornamental Ware, [and] minor items”.
