This derelict nunnery belongs to the Contemplative Sisters of the Good Shepherd, “Lys Marie”. For some 100 years up to 1977 the Good Shepherd Convent operated a Magdalene Laundry on the site. Image The eleven sisters of the nunnery now live in a smaller modern convent in the rear and are engaged in making altar cloths and small linens.
