Very sad to see I actually used to hang out in this house when I was 16 I’m 31 now with all my mates we loved it we never ever vandalised we just had our own mansion in our eyes 😂😂😂 cannot believe someone did this to it I went up two weeks ago I live nearby and it doesn’t seem anything has changed doesn’t look like anything has been renovated unfortunately 😢

afaik the house has been completely renovated by new owners so all might be ok? Looks perfect on Apple Maps, though yeah the gate lodge might be getting fresh work. I wonder were those your seats in the curved sunken garden! ❤

@@thebettyfordclinicit’s weird because it does look that way on Google maps but when you go up there still is no possible way someone could live there as there is no entrance into the place. It’s walled off and the main gate has been chained together years. I used to climb on the roof and explore we where so young we just thought we owned our own mansion 😅

@@jodymurphy5533Interesting! And the front gate is blurred out too (though I do pass by a lot - didn’t spot the chain though). The mystery continues. Am very envious of the fun private mansion years!

It continued to trade as a laundry until 2006, hence the contemporary machines. The drive belt machinery of the old laundry is visible in the video. The heritage of this building is undeniable.

From Canada I have heard of the horror stories of this place. But, it is difficult to imagine touring through all the more modern debris on the shelves and floor. That anything was going on that should no have. However, the horror stories all over the world in residential schools for children run by churches. Todays modern Children’s Aid Societies are not much better than back in the 1800’s

Sweat drenched floors from the unpaid hard work of sinners, state sponsored slavery to feed the profits of rich companies and line the deep pockets of the Sisters of Charity, ironic title. Reparations ? Let them queue, how long do they have ? Land value of the site will yield even more blood money. All in the name of the lord. Wonder what Mary Aikenhead would have thought. In spite of their best efforts of the perpetrators, the victims are not forgotten.

I worked there when I was 18 before it closed down fully. It was fully operational but the running of the laundry was taken over by Kelso laundry,well that’s whom I was hired by. Some of the women resident in the sister of charity were still there, accompanied by the sisters. My heart went out to them. You could tell they had suffered a hard life.
