English: Stained glass window commissioned in 1896 by the Governors of the Cotton Districts Convalescent Fund for the Cotton Districts Convalescent Home in Southport, Lancashire, made by Heaton, Butler and Bayne of London at a cost of £150

The home was part of the Southport Convalescent and Seabathing hospital which was taken over by the Ministry of Health as an emergency hospital in 1940 and retained by them on the creation of the National Health Sevice under the provisions of the National Health Act of 1946. In 1970 Governors of the fund resolved to repossess the window and have it transferred to the Chapel of Rest at Ancoats Hospital. On the closure of the main part of Ancoats hospital the window was renovated by Hospital Arts and re-sited at North Manchester General Hospital.

The Legend at the bottom of the window reads: "In memory of the cotton famine in Lancashire and neighbouring counties 1862-65"

The mottos on the banners held by the angels read: "Blessed be the man that provideth for the sick and needy" and "To do good and distribute forget not"

The convalescent fund was established as a charity in 1875 out of the undistributed surplus of £177,000 left on the closure of the fund set up by the Cotton Relief Committee in 1861 to help those suffering from the effects of the Cotton Famine. The fund still exists today and provides a limited number of convalescent holidays for qualifying applicants
