I'm sure a few of you old timers will be familiar with this one. It did the rounds back in 2009 but they've made it a tricky one to get into since then. I've been looking at it since 2014 but various recce missions proved pretty useless. The most memorable of these involved a bridge collapsing...
After the Brownsville General Hospital relocated to its new location in 1965, the former buildings were converted into the Golden Age Nursing Home.
