Great Britain St josephs orphanage December 2015

@urblex wasn't in there all that long but when we got out and looked at the place I could see that there was a lot of the build that we didn't even go into. It all set out a bit odd there.

Yeah the layout is pretty confusing in there mate

The attic has the old X-ray machine in it and the basement has massive old washing machines and a few other interesting bits. other then that the kitchen has quite a bit left in it. It's really gone down hill in the last few years. The set out is odd as it was run as 3 different organisations, the orphanage was built in 1872, then the hospital part was added in 1877 and the chapel was built in 1910. They all ran separately until 1954 when the orphanage shut and that's when link passages where built between the buildings and still run by nuns until 1980 when it was turned into an old peoples home. Most of you probably didn't want to know that but you do now hahaha.
