Well... the good lady is having baby number three on boxing day so making good while I can, explore number five for December was a fantastic visit to St Gerard's Orthopaedic and TB Hospital. A very atmospheric place with lots of original bits and bobs in a nice preserved state, far more to see than I was expecting and looking forward to having a mooch around the rest of the site in the hear future.
Someone appears to be living in the kitchen area, sleeping bag and a flask so Doras beware!
Thanks for looking
History
Father Hudson was a parish priest. He was assigned as secretary and administrator for The Birmingham Diocesan Rescue Society for the protection of homeless and friendless Catholic children. Created when poverty, deprivation and child labour was strife in 1902. St Gerald's Hospital was built as an expansion for St Edwards boys and Catholic children from the diocese and workhouse hospitals.
Thanks for looking, there's a few more pictures on my site... Mat
