- Part1 here: • St Josephs Orphanage -...
Down Theatre Street in Preston (near the Post Office) is the former St Joseph’s Orphanage or Mount Street Hospital as it became know.
It was started in 1872 (according to Hewitson’s ‘A History of Preston) as an orphanage for Roman Catholic girls after an endowment from Mrs Maria Holland who later died in 1878.
Hewistson writes in his 1883 tombe, ‘A History of Preston’:
At the southern end of Theatre-street there is a charitable institution called St. Joseph’s Orphanage. It was built and partially endowed by a local Catholic lady - the lake Mrs. Maria Holland - in 1872. The Orphanage is solely for Roman Catholic orphan girls; and they are instructed and generally looked after by nuns. Mr.R.W.Hughes, formerly of Preston, was the architect of the building. Since its opening there have been extensions, the cost of which has been defrayed by Catholics. There are, at present, about 50 orphans here.
Hewitson then goes on to describe the St Joseph’s Institute which was built onto the orphanage in 1877.
On the eastern side of, and immediately adjoining, the Orphanage, there is “St Joseph’s Institute for the Sick Poor.” This building, which has its front in Mount-street, was erected out of funds bequeathed for the purpose by Mrs. Holland - the lady who erected the Orphanage; and it was opened in 1877. It is for Roman Catholics; is maintained by voluntary contributions; and is attended; gratuitously, by local medical gentlemen. There is accommodation at this Institute for about 25 patients.
The only other article in the community archives is a clipping from the Lancashire Evening Post on 3rd September 1987 about the Hospital puzzling over what to do about a painting of Maria Holland that is in the Hospital as they don’t know who donated it. There’s a few further bits of history about the St Joseph’s complex:
Mount Street Hospital received its first operating theatre in 1910
In World War 1 it housed wounded British and Belgian soliders
A new wing was added to the Hospital in 1933
In World War 2 it was used to care for Dutch and Belgian sailors
Another new wing was opened in 1958 by Princess Marina the Duchess of Kent
The nuns who ran the orphanage were originally Dutch and called the Sisters of Charity of Our Lady Mother of Mercy

I happen to think that this old building is very grand and beautiful, I wish it could be saved. Future generations won’t be able to experience these majestic building s for themselves, so sad. Thank you to all the explorers who are documenting all this history. X
Yes, they are the new history keepers. Future generations will still be able to see these big beautiful buildings, although, it will most likely be in a Holodeck. 😍 Just imagine taking the grand tour!
Great explore Matt that lift and X-ray machine was old.liked the Jimmy savile jokes classic great watch keep it up George formby died there some history in that place great drone footage 👍👍👍

I bet That place looked amazing just after it was abandoned. Awesome stuff matt
What a wonderful explore. Thanks Matt. Love your sense of humour as much as your videos
Imagine what those kids went through.
I can't understand why these disused buildings are just left to rot. Surely it would be better once empty to flatten them once the explorers have been round them of course. Was very interesting and what a nice bunch of guys you met at the end. Thanks Matt for showing us around xx
Why flatten beautiful old buildings.
Repurpose
Most of these old buildings are listed so you can’t just pull them down, and it would be so sad to see that done !
@@mysticalmisty9772 sadly that doesn't stop some people.
I know alot.of listed buildings now gone.
Usually they will take a few tiles off the roof and let the weather do its work
@@andyg3 Unfortunately your right, take the slate and any copper, it's a shame they can't be done up! But from a exploring side their fab to go around..
Hey love watching your explore videos so interesting to watch 😃
Damn good picture of ghost girl in the door way,bravo on that.
That cat probably lost about 6 of its lives jumping from that second story window lol
Awesome
You are a thorn in the side of the establishment and that is what more people need to be like. You are a typical Matt like me. Keep it up! God bless! Power to The (REAL) People! Happy Dayz!
Love when matt reads the graffiti on the walls 😂
Love the way liam Lk takes pics of the old fixtures eg switches etc, great vid matt!
Hi Matt never realised this place was so big,that operation light would look great in someone's home very interesting second part thanks for sharing great video as always
Looking at this place from above,its hard to gauge how big it really is. AND there's a LOT of yellow LOL.
An autoclave typically bakes wax out/off of an object…typically a wax mould that’s been encased in ceramic slurry so it can be used to cast a part of an engine or precision part used in some high end product.
Great footage xx
4:23 (sounds like a deep scream from either in the building or outside???)
💪❤
Great video is this the quietest beface has been on one of your vids lol

Yeah but deserved to be scared as cats are always up to no good... lol
BA stands for Breathing Apparatus

Quick rant why does Dan have to constantly tell everyone how may subs he has. He is driving me mad.
Video was great.
Wry do you have to go on floors with crap on them the noise is cracking i have to turn it down boys
Poor cat hopefully he hasn’t cut his feet on all that glass
Did you do the morgue where ewf got the evps?
They shud use them buildings for the asylum seekers
You might not have as meany subscribers but at least you don't put fake bones in fire places
A lift whant to get beno to have a go on it
I thought those upstairs rooms are for dentistry, not for medical operations that's if it was part of the original Orphanage but I'm not too sure.
St Joseph’s Institute for the Sick Poor, Would that have had a morgue?
Wasn't this where George Formby died? I wonder if his ghost his wandering around there?, you didn't hear any ghostly ukulele sounds did you?
That’s no tomato, that’s ectoplasm!
Is there any Alarms
First!
Too many explores to hear anything
hmm
yeh
@@TheSecretVault got tbh the large sticker mad me laugh got to go bigger and bigger now
Mann this place is sketchy as hell! That cat is game as mooching In there on its own 🤣
You guys rock!

Why did you bring that noisey fool with you. Has going to give off your location in the building EXSPECAILY if you don't want the cops to know your explorating that particular building.

I'm stoned so nothing is better than watching secret vault
