Actually it was originally an old British Infirmary for lepers. Henry XVIII had it torn down bit part of it is still standing. Over the years it was changed to be a 'Cat' house

Awesome.. I've heard so many versions of this song, and this one is at the top. But I'm not really surprised :). Thanx for posting this..
