That would be the Nicholas Garrow Home for the Blind. Anybody know anything about Nicholas Garrow?

Just that I used to cut the grass there as a teenager.  My dad was head gardener at Hepscott Park and we used to travel all over the county looking after the gardens at different homes.

Then there was the blind persons home.

Not sure if that had a name.

Thomas Taylor homes - old folks home latterly called Hepscott Park

Mona Taylor maternity block which was part of the Thomas Taylor complex.

Blind persons home was further down the road towards Morpeth at Hepscott Manor.
