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.
