Building formerly Lancaster School of Nursing

Looks in disrepair, but around the late 80's, before it closed altogether and the school moved, it was a busy and thriving school, where registered nurse training was in full swing, and opportunities to visit the Royal Albert Hospital itself, for further training was the norm.

Looking at the footprints on the path it would seem it is regularly used by sheep and not humans

Olympic Torch Relay, Lancaster

Outside Booths on the A6 Scotforth, Lancaster. The torch bearer in white track suit almost totally obscured by an escorting runner.Best I could do! The flame just seen above the escorts head. The rain was torrential with strong winds. The torch appeared to be travelling right on the north south grid line. From Mount Olympus to a wet A6.

Outside The Boot and Shoe, Scotforth, Lancaster. Torch just visible in front of the White Van. Weather appalling! Large crowds in Lancaster and Morecambe today despite the poor conditions.

Former post office, Scotforth

This closed as a post office in about 2006 at a time when the local PO was becoming more and more unviable as a business. Now it is student house letting agency but before this I think it was a fitted window shop or something similar. I remember asking the last postmaster if he was sad about closing and surprisingly he said no. They'd had a violent robbery here not long before and I think they had just had enough.
