The Priory, Franklynn Road
Image: © Simon Carey Taken: 30 Aug 2007
Former Priory of Our Lady of Good Counsel established here by the English Convent of Bruges in 1886. The purchase of the Hazelgrove estate behind the building enables the Priory to eventually construct the building which was consecrated in 1897. It remained in use until the late 1970s when the nuns move to Sayers Commons, the grounds were turned into a housing estate and the building itself converted into a bar and restaurant the latter located in the formal chapel which has been largely maintained along with the windows. Taken from the corner of Triangle Road with Sussex Square and South Road in the distance.
