Went here recently dragging along a reluctant Headflux
The Babies Castle was officially opened on 9th August 1886 this institution was for the reception of babies. In 1908 Babies Castle became a mixed home for children under the age of eight. It was particularly used for babies and young children who, owing to their physical condition, were not suited for boarding out.
The building today has fallen in a bad state of repair and the local council are considering giving permission for the old building to be demolished. At the reunion of 2009 12 old babies and 60 ex nurses signed a petition asking the local council to reconsider and save the building.
The whole place is boarded up and very dark. The pictures aren't that great but hey ho!
Enjoy
