Well after being caught at severalls, i know how lame its a very easy site but we got sloppy and lazy something that wont happen again :p

So anyway we decided to visit st albrights instead after hearing it was having so many fires we thought wed best get some snaps in before it dissapears alltogether.

Ill also upload some old pictures i have from st albrights due to a family connection with the hospital.


In Victorian times, this was called Lexden & Winstree Workhouse - basically a place where poor people were given a home in exchange for doing (often hard) work. It later became St Albright's Hospital and closed in 2006.

This was a very weird little chapel like structure just inside the gate, the tiling was beautiful though.

St Albrights was built in a cross design having wings radiate out from a centre point.
