St Winifreds Care Home, Cardiff - July '10

Attending: Sheep2405, Menace, Petzl & Myself

Dating back to the 1930's St Winefreds was owned and run by the Sisters of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary for over 60 years.

Originaly a convent and then a hospital this site situated in one of Cardiff's rich suburbs is now owned by David Loosemore of Loosmores having purchased the site for £4.5m earlier this year, a proposal for a 120-apartment gated community and 60-bed nursing home has now been approved for the site and work is underway much to the dissapointment of most residents in the area.

Fantastic, isn't it? This photo collection is the sort of thing which deserves the appellation "urbex porn".

Its a shame now its been pikeyed to the max, its just trash and bare walls, they even smashed a shit load of the marble up to try and get it off the walls in the church.
