History;
The convent is based in York. The convent has been closed since 2013 after being open for more than 140 years! 
The convent had to close due to it homing 40 nuns back in the 1920's but slowly declining to the final 8 nuns who couldn't manage the convent on their own. ​

The property has been listed as a grade ll building due to it's architectural and historical importance.
However the convent is apparently to be sold.

Explore;
Second explore of the weekend with @AndyK! and @SpiderMonkey in't North. 
Not a lot of time spent in this place due to security being on too us and creaky floorboards don't help either.
However here are a few photo's that i got. :)

It looks fairly empty from a few years ago. Why have they got security in there?
