I think this is the Mourge in Bacchus or the "Old Hospital" When my parents worked in Letchworth I was with them when they had to stop by there one time on a day off. Though my mother worked in the "New Hospital", she had to see some friends in the "Old" one. This mourge was no longer used as such, and had become a break room. It was very creepy to a 15 year old to eat food there. One of my less thrilling adolescent memories. I was with a friend also 15 as well. We got a case of nervous laughter. My 'rents thought we where just being silly. They didnt realize we were so creaped out.

Many people are upset it wasnt preseved, but it should have been done long ago, The front wall of the mansion collapsed over a year ago. The bathtub that crashed through the second floor before that hurried the wall to its demise. As i said before. The mansion was demolished May 2005. The school still stands. But for how long?
