Haven't put up a report for a while now, so thought I should kick my own backside and do one. We have wanted to see this place for a while now and an opportunity arose so we jumped right on it, not that any of us felt that energetic when our alarms when off at daft o'clock for our early start.
We had the pleasure of Perjury saint staying with us for the weekend who not only had to put up with faffing around splores by team faff, getting zapped by lazers but he also had the experience of a northern pub party which turned out a bit phoenix nights with the local entertainment Still not had pea wet yet but at least you sampled some lobby! Must say though, many apologies to peterc4 and sonyes for still being in bed when we were supposed to be at the rendezvous point for the splore the day after
A great weekend with comical exits,a much needed bacon barmcake and a night of how the hell am I still standing! Through sheer exhaustion,I felt like a zombie. Must be getting old!
Very brief history:St Joseph's originally started as an orphanage for Roman Catholic girls.It was built and partially funded by the late Mrs Maria Holland in 1872.It was designed by Mr.R.W Hughes.The orphanage was run by Dutch nuns called the Sisters of Charity of Our Lady Mother of Mercy.The orphanage later became a nursing home. Since its opening there has been extensions, St Joseph's Institute for the sick poor was built onto the orphanage. Later known as Mount St hospital, it was used to care for wounded soldiers during both wars and run by the same order of nuns. It got its first operating theatre in 1910.It closed in 1986.
May I help you??
Whilst there we discovered one of the operating theatre lights had become a death ray! Check out AlternativeDayOuts vid
