Hi all, This is my 1st Report on here, so here goes, Visited with Wevsky and Space Invader (Non member)
Ive found a little history on St Johns mainly after reading bits on various sites across the web and other reports gleaned from various other forums.
St Johns Hospital built originally in 1837 as an infirmary to a local workhouse, had various bits "added" to it over the years, started closing down in 2005 and finally came to an end 18/11/2010 when all its staff and services were shifted to Bromsfield Hospital.
In its 133-year history, more than 100,000 babies were born inside the hallowed walls of the hospital's famous maternity ward.

Right on with some pics :D
