Not entirely sure on the history of this one but I do know that before it's use as a care home it was owned by the Mill Hill Society, used for foreign missionaries hence giving it the title of St Josephs. It was used for this purpose until 1955 when it was turned into a care home for the elderly when finally, under ownership of Craegmoor Care it was closed in 2004 and has been left to rot. However planning permission to convert the building for residential use has been granted, at least the building will be 'saved'....
As soon as you walk in you are greeted by this lovely little chapel

Fire damage in the main stairwell, the fire doors have done their job well, fire hasn't spread into any other parts of the building
