Hornsey Rise Memorial home, Leics, Sep14

[The Wombat]

First explore out with KM punk for a while. This place was quite big so spent an enjoyable few hours here. So long, that we didn’t get time to visit some of the other places on the list.

The Natsopa Memorial Home opened in 1921, a memorial to printers who fell in the great war. At some point during the 1960's or 70's it became known as Hornsey Rise Memorial Home, and was owned by the Pilgrims' Friend Society. The home closed in June 2012. Some sections had been closed longer, and were in a greater state of decay.

thanks for looking

That's a very cool report Mr Ombat, looks well worth nosing around in there. Memorial for printers? Never imagined there would be one of those tbh!
