DescriptionPrinted in greyscale in the ‘Leader’ on September 14, 1992.
Patients had recently moved into this building, which replaced the two-storey building built 60 years ago and which had recently been demolished.
The main contractors, Dixon and McKinlay, had gone into receivership in June 1992; June completion was delayed; the work was completed by as many subcontractors as possible, and some Dixon and McKinlay staff.
A similar picture with Sisters Christina and Helen in the foreground was printed in colour in the ‘Leader’ on September 14, 1992. On the back of this print there is the date, 8-9-92 and a note about the cross in the distance; the chapel had yet to be demolished.
