I haven’t been yet but I’ve been told by mates of mine that access is that hidden you wouldn’t even set eyes on it. Apparently it’s some sort of vent that opens up. I’ll find out when I go.

Fair enough! Keep us posted!

My father used to run this for Barnardo's until it closed in 1981 and my mother was on staff. My uncle also lived here as a child. Drove past it every day for the last 3 months and have always wondered what it was like inside thanks. Apparently, it was briefly a hotel after Barnado's left and it became another care home.
