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.

The one I remember had a massive stone (I think) crucifix on the side of it and I think that the building was more modern. Although it could of been modified. Is this a real time photo or a past one mate??
