Just a passing thought, big notice outside Monkton hospital (near lord nelson) Sold.i wonder if it has been bought by the government to house the boat people, just a thought could be wrong.

Joseph, your comments make sense! There are towns already top heavy with immigrants in the UK. It may sound untrue but it's fact. I get about. Monkton hall was once about orphans and backward people. Maybe Starmer should move in !!!

Monkton Hall was for young men with special needs.At some time it had 3 homes built alongside it and was then named Monkton hospital. The three homes were Proud Heights, Bedewell and ?? Believe these are now NHS offices. Monkton Hall itself was up for sale. My Dad used to belong to a singing group that went to Monkton Hall to entertain the men. Dad was born 1906 so 1920s?

Monkton Hall Home opened in 1908. Political correctness had not yet been invented, and it was then described as a "home for feeble-minded boys".

Don't worry Joseph, it's been bought by a couple of lads from Jarrow who have a history of buying property and doing good renovation jobs. Not for me to name them on here but rest assured it won't end up in the hands of asylum seekers etc.
