Who was the husband of the woman who opened the Flint House?
Police Rehabilitation Centre, Flint House The house and surrounding 14 acre estate were purchased by the Police Convalescent Home Management Committee on 20 April 1985 after the previous centre, Kingsway, was deemed to be too small. After renovation works, Flint House was opened as a Police Rehabilitation Centre by Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother on 2 June 1988. The house had previously been a training centre for the Water Industry Training Board, and later Thames Water, complete with a complex system of pipes for trainees to detect leaks.
Frances Swiney Rosa Frances Emily Swiney, "née" Biggs, (21 April 1847 – 3 May 1922) was an early British feminist and writer. She was born in Poona, India, but spent most of her childhood in Ireland. In 1871 she married Major John Swiney (1832–1918), and devoted herself to becoming a full-time wife and mother. Swiney relocated to Cheltenham, Gloucestershire in 1877, a place she described later in her life as "the town of no ideals", where her husband joined her ten years later.
