Hi Willow,
As far as I can see, Trust House is now a pub better known as The Goth, or more accurately Prestoungrange Gothenburg.
See http://www.prestoungrange.org/gothenbur ... link_a.htm
On reading through that website, it appears that in 1943, the Trust House was sold to CISWO (Coal Industry Social Welfare Organisation).
As a guess, during the war years, were inns and the like with rooms to spare taking in patients for rest and recuperation; or like a hospice?
All the best,
AndrewP
