      Those are incredible photographs, very detailed and clear. When were they taken?

          Hi, Mutt, I found the photos at this click -



          These are 20th century photos probably taken after the Home was renovated in the 1950's and renamed the Red Ensign Club and before it closed in 1974. Still has the basic original design, much like a prison.

            Very much like a prison. In fact, it was my first thought when I saw the photographs.

              The top pic in post #1, looks for all the world like the inside of Slade Prison of "Porridge" fame..
