"The Grove" Shardlow.

My Gt Grandad, Thomas Wells, died in 1945 aged 88 at "The Grove" Shardlow in Derbyshire. He died from dementia, and the death was registered by his Grand Daughter C.O.K. Wells.

I believe that "The Grove" was the hospital section of the Union Workhouse in Shardlow.

What puzzles me is, what was a Brummie doing in Derbyshire?
