Winscombe Nursing Home

Winscombe Nursing Home had the capacity for 30 residents. Its closure caused a bit of an uproar, as the home consistently had good reports. Family of the residents were especially upset as residents were then transferred to a Nursing Home with less than satisfactory reports. The reason for its closure was said to be because of it's lack of residents, with only 18 in residence at the time of its closure.

January 2018 Plans were submitted for the demolition and build of two, two storey apartments. A total of 14, 2 bedroom apartments and parking for 28 vehicles. A member of the public spoke out against the plans, and they were rejected due to the pressure on the surrounding area.

The site was surprisingly easy to get on to, and we managed to enter the building easily. Unfortunately for us, even though the building was open, we managed to set off an alarm! A swift exit followed. Below are a few photos we managed to take, the whole place has been stripped completely and we did see some building/decorating equipment which suggests the property may be under development, although I could not find anything online.
