The foundation stone for the Sanitorium initiated by Bishop Jolivet was laid in 1897 and opened in1898. The San was run by Augustinian Nuns who also ran a garden and dairy cows. In 1906 the San had 50 patients.The hospital had several additions made to it over the years and the front, Loop street entrance bears the year 1930. The Nuns ceased to operate in 1966 when the San was taken private and then in 1972 it was taken over by Greys Hospital and renamed St Anne's. This in turn closed when Greys Hospital moved to its new position on Town Hill in 1984. The hospital is now derelict and this album has images of what remains in its derelict state and includes the old Chapel and Laundry Boiler Rooms.
