.... 23 Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 We've done this before, and maybe this will be easy (for one poster at least on here that I can think of certainly!) But can anybody place where this building was? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mick2me 3,033 Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 Note the window frames only removed, not demolition? Conversion to Dwellings? My first thought were Mapperly Hospital. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Commo 1,292 Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 I had also thought initially of Mapperly, perhaps the lower part of the hospital overlooking the "playing fields" where the garden party was held? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,529 Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 Is that photo as it is now, or at some time in the past? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

darkazana 1,736 Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 Apparently pulled down to build a detention centre for young offenders in 2004? (Is there a detention centre for young offenders in Calverton?) Used to be a copper dome on top of the tower. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jimmy87notts 22 Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 Its not a detention centre, Its a medium secure psyciatric hospital now, I used to work there. Always wondered wheat the old building looked like. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
