Hi you are right about the convent, I remember it from when I was a kid (it was still open then)Can't remember the name but I will find out for you. Rock House used to terrify me when I was a kid. We used to think it was haunted   I put a request out for info on it but nobody got back to me  Regards Chris

I'm not sure on this but I think it may have been St Margarets. If I'm right,it was run by the Sisters of Charity. The house was opened in 1890 and closed in 2004.
