@hugh19882 erm I never said they had knocked this one down. A new nursing home in Shepshed was built to replace it, thats why they closed this one down.

@kbkasey i used to work here in the kitchens too i practically grew up in this place as my auntie used to run it and alot of my family worked here over the years ,i went in there over a year ago at night it was spooky though it was spooky there when it was open especially in the laundry room which i recently found out used to be the morgue when it was a convalescent home, i cant believe how much the place has been trashed...shame!
