Activities

Photographic Survey

A photosurvey was carried out by RCAHMS in June 1991 as demolition was being carried out at this site. Half of the remaining buildings had been demolished prior to the survey, and those that survived were in the process of being demolished. Several photographs were taken of these building, including a two storey range at the north west end of the site. All the surviving buildings were built of concrete.
